Baby Ellie Baptism

Baby Ellie was Baptised yesterday at Schofield Barracks. Being the good baby that she was she didn't even wake up. She actually slept through the whole thing. Father McCabe was so wonderful and understanding of Jason deploying on Saturday that he cleared his schedule to do the Baptism for our family. The only thing that was missing was Baby Ellie's God Parents, our dear friends Jason and Shilo. We wished they could be here with us but they are always close at heart. We love you guys, thank you for being such special and wonderful people to us and our family.

Pictures of Ellie

More pictures of Ellie. She's sleeping in all of them, since that is what she does when she's not eating. She's a pretty good baby so far, really only crying when she is hungry.

Family Pics with Ellie

Everyone wants to hold Baby Ellie, as she is affectionately referred to around here. So here are some pics of the family, all holding our new addition.

Ellie Katherine is here

Ellie Katherine was born at 8:58pm on October 3, 2008 at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. She weighed 7 lbs. 12 ozs. and was 18 3/4 inches long. Ellie shares her birthday with Amie's dad, Gary, and Amie's sister, Jenny.

It was rough going for a while. Amie went into labor around 10:00pm on October 2, and Ellie wasn't born until almost 24 hours later. But we are all glad that she is finally here.
