We are going private.

I sent out invites to everyone I had email addresses for and then realized it would not be viewable to those I don't have on my list. I know some of you have gotten new addresses and some of you are just blog stalkers! So, if you would like to be on the list to view our wonderfully entertaining blog, and you didn't get an invite, you will now have to make yourself known. Leave me your email address.

2 weeks...almost

We were trying to get a picture of Lillie smiling and this is what we got first:

And then.....we finally got it. She was barely falling asleep and going through the gamut of emotions on her face. I love when newborns do that! And that is why she has one eye closed and one kind of open. So Sweet!!

I was trying out taking some "professional" pictures of my own. I need A LOT of practice but I did like a couple of them. The second one shows how hairy she is! If you click on the picture you can REALLY see it.

HAPPY KIDS!!

This was the day after I came home from the hospital. This is actually prohibited at our house but they must have known that on this particular day mom wasn't going to stop them.

And more water fun from this summer....

So the baby countdown ticker was a little off.

This is "the hubby", as I am affectionately referred to on this blog. And why am I posting, as opposed to my lovely wife, you might ask? We'll, she currently is laying in the hospital with baby McDaniel #4. (Actually, baby McDaniel is probably laying in the nursery while mommy sleeps, got to take advantage of the hospital staff while we can.) Anyway, I promised a few of you that I'd do my best to get some pics posted tonight, so here you are:


Oh and by the way, she's a girl. We were both guessing boy so we were a little surprised.


It's late and I'm sleep deprived, so I'm just going to cut straight to the necessary details. Mom's water broke at 3:30 a.m. Monday morning. We arrived at the hospital at 5:00 a.m. Baby joined us at 7:10 a.m. 7 pounds, 4 ounces, 20 inches, slimy and cute. Mom and baby are doing well. Mom's awesome sister "nursed" us through the whole thing, even though it was her day off. In keeping with Mom's prohibition on names on this blog, you will have to call to find out that little detail. We have yet to settle on a middle name, but we've got the first pinned down.








Mom and baby are doing great. Older sisters are ecstatic. Brother was mildly entertained for a moment. More later.
