Introducing...

The newest member of our little family. Saylor Margaret-Evelyn Thackery was born on September 9, 2008 at 6:18 PM. She weighed in at 6 lbs and 12 oz and was 20 inches long. The birthing process went beautifully! I pushed for a whopping 5 minutes and voila, there was a beautiful baby girl. I feel like we should have a whole school bus full at this rate. KIDDING!!! The truth is that we feel so incredibly blessed in so many ways and are really thankful for such a smooth delivery.

As you can see by the photos, Henry loves Saylor very much. He is being very gentle and kind with her. He laughs at a lot of her little movements and noises. So far, Saylor is still completely mixed up on her nights and days... UGH! I was actually seeing things at about 3 AM this morning. Vines were growing up the wall and Saylor had a little mustache. No kidding. Needless to say, I am a little tired. Soon things will get switched around and we will work on a schedule.

Russ and Henry have been hanging out a lot and giving me time to nap when Saylor does. Let the fun begin! We were laughing today about feeling even more grown up now that we have two kiddos. It's like we are complete and can just live this beautiful life out that we've been blessed with.

Signing off for now. Thank you all for your text messages and phone calls. I will start returning them both when the vines and mustache's disappear!

Love to you all and here she is...
