Introducing Eliza

Today we welcomed sweet Eliza Ruth Smith into our family. Weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz, she’s a wee little person. Her hair is darker (more like Maxwell’s) and she has long fingers and toes. She had a little trouble eating and breathing… but seems to have conquered both by the end of the day. (Jimmy adds, “She must have an unconquerable spirit!”). The c-section went pretty well, for which we are grateful. My brain is fuzzy from all the drugs and being tired… so I’ll keep this short. Welcome little Eliza! We hope you enjoy this family of ours! We sure love you already!!!

    adorable! wow…just adding the 4th child to our fam makes me admire you all the more for having your 5th!! I’m so happy for you. And I just have tot tell you…I read your “comb” story about Hannah & honestly, 2 days later Jyson was ‘combing’ Ari’s hair & the EXACT thing happened. I told Tony about your story while trying to laugh & get the hair unstuck & he said, “If Jimmy can get it out, so can I…and he did!” Thanks for that, I really didn’t want to cut off her curls! I hope you have a speedy recovery!
