Well, the moment has arrived. On Tuesday, May 15th, at 1:22PM, our little angel, Ava Camille officially made her grand entrance! She weighed 8lbs 1oz and was 20 1/2 in. long. She was also awarded the prize of most beautiful baby girl ever…and I have no doubt that she’ll hold on to that title. Tuesday [...]

As we prepare for the arrival of our little Angel, Ava, there has been a TON of prep going on. We seem to have forgotten the amount of work involved.
