Four days old and already posing for the camera!

Mommy,ready for the arrival of Liel in her ever-so-fasionable Hopsital dress.

Daddy ready in his operating room duds. "It's almost time to meet you Liel!"

GRAPHIC PHOTO: Sorry if this is too much for your stomach :) I just thought the whole experience of seeing Liel born was absolutely amazing. Hope you do too!

Liel Hannah Crawford
Born Friday, March 23, 2007 at 10:56 am. She weighed 7 lbs 12.6 oz was 20 inches long and has very light blond hair and very blue eyes.

Julia connecting with Liel. Can you see how proud she looks to be the big sister?

Visitors: Not the best shot, but wanted to make sure I had one on here. Both girls were really more interested in the baby then we anticipated. Kelly kept pointing and trying to touch Liel and saying baby, and Julia just got up on the bench and looked at her and wanted to hold her the whole visit. What good big sisters I think we have in the making!

Discharge Day. Daddy with his third little girl. What a professional you are at this whole thing now. From pregnancy, to c-section to hospital stay to home life. This man knows all about it! (and not surprisingly does it well)

Discharge Day. Yipee. Mommy and Liel all ready to go home and start life with the whole family!
Do you see any resemblence here? Daddy and Mommy really feel we see a lot of similarities in Julia and Liel. I suppose only time will tell, but they even have some similar movements (comparing them as babies, not now as baby and toddler).
Julia trying to hide her hands for this picture with little Liel. She kept putting them in front of her face or too close to Liel's face. Julia is so excited about Liel. She sat on the couch all morning and just held her and talked to her. I'm really shocked at the difference a few months makes (comparing how she now at 39 months to how she was with Kelly at 23 months).

Julia Marie and Kelly Joannah with their afternoon tea and crumpets.
Julia Marie, the epitomy of Tea Party. She just loves playing tea party and was so excited about our little Tea Party Photo Shoot. When it was all over she just wanted to do it again! Next time we'll do a photo shoot with Liel sweetie.
So glad I made the effort to take these pictures. We will forever cherish them. Kelly did just super keeping her hat on, it was so precious, just like big sissy (the cheerios helped keep her sitting too).

















Our precious Girls. What fun we had with out last big photoshoot. Julia and Kelly were so excited about being dressed up with their hats and neclaces that smiling at the camera came naturally. I took over 60 pictures!

Julia wanted a picture of her with this little squirel.

Kelly is 16 months and she still loves the laundry basket!

Girls in their hats. What cuties. If time allows I'd love to set up a cute picture of them in dresses and hats at their little tea table. It sounds like the making of an adorable black and white photo shoot doesn't it? With only 4 days left, we'll see what kind of time and energy we have (before Liel Hannah Crawford arrives on Friday morning!)

Kelly Joannah playing peek-a-boo with Mommy on Sunday morning. I love how this pictures captures her playful spirit.

Spring is in the air! Kelly and Julia testing out some chalk on our walkway. In the background you can see part of our new van that the Lord amazingly provided!

Kelly "helping" in the Kitchen. She dumped almost a 1/4 cup of flour onto her face. We had a lot of fun Wednesday when we had some special time just the two of us (Julia was with Grammy and Poppy).
