The Chesser Family: A NEW DAY

So much has happened over the past few months. Of course, I had every intention of blogging about things as they came up....but my little monster has made that virtually impossible. Until now. Without further ado, here is a picture chronology of July-August 2008. I will do a September post in a minute, and with a little luck, I'll be posting REAL blogs after that.

Henry's Birth Announcement!

Our first moment together after the baby was born

Mommy and Henry

Grammie Jeanne and Henry - my mom was in the delivery room for Henry's grand entry...she was the official washclothe giver and count-to-10 person. I am so grateful for her being there.

Aunt Heather and Henry -- Heather was the delivery room video- and photo- grapher. She cried less than I thought she would...and I absolutely love the footage she got of Henry's big day. She's one in a bazillion.

Grammie Jeanne and her Henry about to leave the hospital

Grumpy Lande and Henry in the hospital. Poor Grumpy came all the way from Texas with Grammie, made it in time for the big event, and then had to sit in the hospital waiting room for 18 hours waiting on his firstborn to have hers. What a champ.

Nana meets Henry only a few hours after he was born.

My favorite sight in all the world...sleeping monster.

Nina came to visit when Henry was a few days old! She brought lots of amazing presents -- Henry's favorite is the blankie that his daddy came home from the hospital in 27 years ago this month.
