Baby Sophie

We are so happy to announce the arrival of Sophie Lyn Harper. She was born Tuesday June 15th at 4:36 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. and is 19 inches long. She has a head full of light brown hair. We have been so blessed with this little bundle of joy. She is so sweet and we love her so much already. Did you ever think you could love someone after only knowing them for 24 hours. Thanks for all of your love, support and prayers on our behalf, it has paid off. Sophie was released from the hospital this afternoon and we truly enjoy having her with us. Tonight will be our first night of many sleepless nights, but she is worth it. We have much to learn, but we are anxious and ready. We can't wait until you get a chance to meet her.

I'm so excited for you guys and I can't wait to hold that sweet little girl! That's assuming I can get her before Rita or Carrie. She may be three by the time I get to her after them. Oh wait, Rita will have one of her own so she'll have to give Sophie back at some point! Yay for your cute little family! You guys look so happy!
