Presenting Reese Va Lois Chatham

Our beautiful girl has arrived! She decided to join our little family on June 13th 2009 at 10:27am. Weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 6oz and 19 inches long. She came 1 week early in order to share a birthday with her big brother, Nathan. Now they are exactly 2 years apart. Unfortunately, Brandon wasn't able to walk in his college graduation that morning. He didn't mind though, the birth of his little girl was much more important. :)


Minutes before her arrival. Thank goodness for epidurals!

Welcome to the world little girl!


Proud Papa!


Proud Mama!

Ready to come home.


Isn't she the most beautiful baby you have ever seen!!!

Me and my TWO children.

This little girl has quickly melted our hearts. She is just so sweet and so beautiful. So far she is taking after her big brother and is quite the sleeper. We hope it lasts. Both Brandon and I completely adore her and feel our family is much more complete with her here. Nathan is having a tough time sharing his mommy though, but hopefully he will soon adjust. He is such a sweet, tender boy and I know he will be a wonderful big brother!
