ONLINE PHOTO ALBUM!!!


If you'll scroll down to the lower right hand corner of this page, you'll see a link to our online photo album. This is going to allow me to post photos in a much larger quantity. Not only that, but the photos posted are interactive (in that you can leave comments for individual photos if you want). I can also title and give brief descriptions of the photos, and on some of them I've added a note. If you see a small, hollow square in the top left hand corner of a photo you've opened, scroll your cursor over that square and read the more detailed note. The easiest way to look at a particular picture set is to locate the folder on the left side of the page and click on that. Then you don't have to scroll through 53 pictures when you only want to see pictures of Gabrielle.
You'll see this picture here and many more like it!!!
Cheers!

One Week with Gabrielle Rae

Gabrielle is a week old today and we have had an amazing time getting to know each other. She sleeps a lot... and does that other thing that they say babies do a lot of. Jasheen and I both still look at each other and say, 'I can't believe we actually have a baby!' I am going to try and avoid the mushy parent plugs of, 'Isn't she so beautiful,' and 'Is this not the best looking baby you've ever seen,' but as you can see, she is quite gorgeous! She's doing very well. In Britain, the National Health Society provides daily mid-wife visits for the first week, and then they will come as often as you'd like for the first year. This has been and amazing blessing as they have helped us with a lot of the practical baby-care stuff. All of their reports have been great. She's feeding, sleeping, crying, and growing as she should be. Please feel free to post comments if you like. We love reading them! By for now!
