SHE IS HERE






We got Lexi today at about 4:30 PM. The babies came early! We were not ready yet. Surprise. We ran to the room as quickly as we could. Luckily we only had to wait about 1 minute before it was our turn. Lexi was scared and holding on to her nanny. She was crying some, but not a lot. She calmed down with Karla.


She is beautiful. She seems to be settling down with us. Everyone has gotten to hold her for at least a couple of seconds.


Here are a couple of pictures for today. More paperwork needs to be compelted.

Congratulations Craig and Karla!! The long wait is over. Lexi looks so grown up compared to her earlier pictures. Quite the beautiful young lady.

Craig, I will share the new pictures at life-group tonight. Safe travels and give Lexi a hug for us.

BTW, is Lexi the plural for Lexus?
