We brought Beatrix home on 1/7/10 in the afternoon. Elke was beyond excited to have a baby sister at home. She just wants to hug her, kiss her, and sing to her all the time. Elke is also very helpful--so far she is a great big sister. We are all settling in at home and enjoying our newly augmented family. Here are more pictures.

Brand New Baby Girl!!!
Beatrix Stanley Sander was born at 7:40pm (PST) on Jan. 4, 2010. She weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces at birth, and she is currently a lanky 21 inches long. Beatrix had to go to the NICU in Yakima, but she's perfectly well so we'll all probably get to go home on the 7th (Thursday). Maggie had to convalesce in Ellensburg (about 40 minutes from Yakima) for the last two days without Beatrix. We'll all be reunited today though. First, we're going to go home and see Elke who is hanging with Grandma Kitty. Here are some pics of Beatrix.

Hi Everybody! We've had an eventful last week or so. Christmas was a lot of fun this year. Elke was very excited about Santa, reindeer, cookies, and presents. Maggie also celebrated her 32nd birthday and hit the "full term" mark. We, minus Elke, stayed up to ring in the new year and Elke's 2nd birthday. Elke helped make her cake with Dad and really enjoyed eating it too. She also loved opening and playing with her gifts...although with Christmas and all of the birthdays, she seems to think everyday should include presents now. Thank you all so much for the generous gifts! The first slideshow is pretty much Christmas. The second slideshow is of her birthday. Can you believe she's TWO!?
