So far so good, as far as the transition to two kids...Ellis also seems to be enamored by the new addition to the family or the "bebe" as he calls her....he even said her name today..enjoy the photos! gp + hp

Avery at two weeks old...

We had a number of visits right after Avery was born (in the case of Heidi, she flew in from Seattle about 4 hours after she was born). It was amazing having Heidi and Bryan (Bapa) and Nancy (Nana) in town, and we could be more grateful for their generosity and servanthood during their visits. My mom has also been incredible watching Ellis and our dog Otis while we were in the hospital and keeping us sane during this transitional time. In fact, we have been overwhelmed by everyone's generosity to us and Avery, from multiple workplace baby showers, MPPC dinners this week, a new swing set for Ellis by his Bapa, and far too many instances of incredible generosity these last few weeks. We are a truly blessed family and blessed to be part of such a great community far and near...Thank you to all...George, Heather, Ellis and Avery

I somehow was able to convince Heather to agree to a photoshoot days before Avery Makena was born...Here are the photos....

Right after Thanksgiving and days before Avery Makena made her grand entrance, we were fortunate enough to get together with family to catch up and once again enjoy Millbrae Pancake House's famous swedish pancakes. Rick and Liz and their kids were down from Seattle with Debby in town to celebrate the holiday and a milestone birthday.
