Introducing Patricia "Trisha" Leigh Stokely

Alan and I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl who arrived July 26th at 9:59am. She weighed 8 lbs 3 oz and was 21 inches long. I didn't end up having to be induced that day as I went into labor on my own at 4am. The delivery went very smooth and Trisha arrived fairly quickly.

AJ is adjusting to life as a big brother. He enjoys helping but is still trying to figure out what this little munchkin is doing in his home.

We are enjoying every second with our new family of four and a half (can't forget doggie Charlie).

Firecracker Firecracker Boom Boom Boom!

AJ spent the 4th of July with his cousins at Herrington Harbour for dinner and fireworks. He seemed to love running around and playing with his cousins but as soon as it got dark and the first "boom" went in the air he wanted nothing more than to be on our laps with us holding his ears. A few times he asked for "home." He made it through like a champ. Here are some pics of us enjoying our evening.
