I Love My Bunnies!

Aunt Nancy gave Hemmie these cuties for her shower and she wanted to break  them out for New Year's Eve :)

2010 Here We Come

Hanging out in the snowstorm on New Year's Eve - so much for our outing on Greenwich Ave today to see Dad at work :(  Dakota is enjoying his last day of being 4 before his big birthday tomorrow (shared with his Uncle Matt- happy day to you both!)  We've uploaded a few more pics of the little lady to the Christmas album in the photo link on the right. 

Looking forward to a great 2010 and happy wishes to our family and friends for a healthy and prosperous year!

Gratuitous Shot of Sleeping Baby

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!!

Hemming had so much fun at her first Christmas!  We headed to PA to spend time with the Thack family and are having a great time being away from home for the first time :) She got to meet a ton of her Thackray relatives on Christmas Day, and will be meeting the Wiegand side today in New Jersey.  We have posted a new set of pix on the Picasa site (link at the right) - enjoy and hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!

Trying out a vid

Let's see if we are savvy enough to upload a video...we promise more interesting ones in the future!

Christmas Eve

Getting in the spirit with a themed outfit! We are headed to Ambler,
PA to spend Christmas with the GrandThacks :)

Ladies Lunch at L&T

Ladies lunch requires white wine - at Lord and Taylor in Stamford it
also seems to require being at least 70. Nonetheless, we had a fab
time with Auntie Ya Ya and our fro yo! :)

New pics up from the first week at home

We posted/added a bunch of photos from the last week to Picasa. As you can see from the pics, sometimes she is a quiet, cute little lady, other times she shows off her complicated side. We are starting to get into a rhythm with her at night, but look forward to the nights where she sleeps longer than 90 minutes at a time. Follow the photo link to the right and click through to the Picasa link for 'Hemming's Second Week'.

First trip to the mall

Hemmie was looking out for the good deals - she is a real shopper in
the making!

First trip to Mac's!!!

Lunch at our favorite local pub. She is a natural here with her Irish
roots. She's not quite ready for the chicken taco salad yet, but she
is eyeing it lustfully.

Home Sweet Home

Finally, 20 minutes shy of a full week in the hospital, Hemming, Mom, and Dad made their way home from the hospital. Hemming finally got to wear the cute yellow outfit with a pink furry fleece (of course she would save her best outfit for her first time out- 'you never know when you might be discovered'). Dakota was curious as to the new addition but seemed to be taking it in stride. He is waiting for the crumbs to start to fall. All in all, we are glad to be home. Updated pics in the link to the right, follow it to Hemming's First Week on Picasa. Wish us luck....

Bored in hospital, so we took some pics

Day 7 in the hospital. Looking forward to going home soon.  We whipped the camera out today and took a few more pics.  One is below with the others in the updated photo album on Picasa. Follow the link to the right to get to it. 

I'm smiling because...

it's my last night in the hospital!

Beautiful lady

Hemming Stella Thackray. 12:26pm on Friday, December 4th. Strawberry-
blond hair and blue eyes. She melted Mom and Dad's heart from the
beginning.

Almost here

Nursery is set. Wife is ready. Caught up on sleep.  Let's go Hemmi, time for you to come.

I can't wait for my little girl!! Two weeks and counting
