Alice Elizabeth Haffner

Our niece arrived at 5:26 pm tonight! She weighed in at 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19 inches long! We were so very excited to welcome her into our family! Claire really wanted to play with her and was upset when we left the room. Mom, baby, and dad are all doing great - very tired but great!

3+1=4!

Michael, Claire, and I are so excited to announce that our 2nd baby will be arriving in early July 2010! We are very excited about this new addition to our family and can not wait for all of you to me him or her! We feel like God has blessed us beyond measure and that His timing in ALL things are perfect. God has been paving the way for this addition in SO many ways and has been heaping blessing upon blessing on us. I would love to share some of the amazing things God is doing in our lives with you!
We ask that you please pray for us as we continue on this journey. That God would continue to grow a healthy baby inside of me and that I would continue to feel as good as possible. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season!!!

Counting down the days until...

Our sweet niece is here!

Today I helped host a baby shower for my sister-in-law Rayna. Baby Alice has tried to come twice in the past couple of weeks but thankfully she has held off! We are all very ready to meet her and welcome her into our family!!

The cake - they are doing the nursery in Classic Pooh and my mom used their baby bedding as inspiration for the cake!
