Hello all. Violet Elizabeth Anderson showed up on April 25, 2008 at 11:01 pm. She would have arrived on her due date of April 26th, but there was a mishap with the umbilical cord that caused her heart rate to drop, so Clair got swifted away for an emergency C Section. Violet was 9 lbs 6.1 oz and 21 inches long. She had a full head of dark hair and, oddly enough, full ears of dark hair. You’ll have to see it to know what I mean
Now, Clair, Violet, and I are back home. Ninja and Violet are getting along nicely. Clair and I have divvied up the tasks: Clair does the feeding, I change the diapers. I’m getting pretty good at it. Violet screams like the dickens, but we’re learning.
We have a bunch of pics from the weekend. Instead of posting them all hear, it was quicker to upload them to Picasa, Google’s photo service. This link will take you to our photo albums.
