Kate Riley is here!

She was born on Tuesday, April 13, weighing in at a hefty 8 lbs 4 oz. and 19 3/4 inches.  We got home on Thursday and Kate has decided, like most newborns, that she should sleep all day and cry and feed all night.  We're hoping to switch that around soon!  Big sister Abby adores her baby, but is still learning how to be calm and gentle...a big request of the world's most active child.  :)

Here are some photos from Kate's first days.

First moments with the proud big sister.
Abby got to help with Kate's first bath at the hospital.
Day two of being a big sister - I think we'll keep her!

The sleeping princess...
She's awake!  Get the camera ready...
Thanks Karen for the great shots.

Love the pictures! Evan thinks that calm and gentle is overrated.

Charlotte is right - I can't help but wonder how you look so great after giving birth when I looked so bloated and swollen-eyed! :)
Kate is gorgeous, and Abby looks so proud and happy. I can't wait to see you all!
