The Big Winner!

A few weeks ago we set up a fun little game so that everyone could get in on the excitement of trying predict all the vitals of our new arrival! Well, now that Abi has "arrived," we have a winner!

Drumroll please ... and the big winner is: Gary Crouch, Abi's Grandpa! To see the complete game results click on the image below!

Baby's First Video :: Welcome Home

We all had a pretty good night of sleep last night in our own bed as we are back in our home in Chiang Rai. With the "extra rest" we have put a little video together for those of you who are interested (ok, mostly for the grandparents) sharing some of her first moments in our home, her first "bath" and some special time with mom and dad.

Hey, it's a baby blog - if we can't be proud, bragging parents here, where can we?

Introducing Abigail Hope...

That's right,everyone - as of this morning Abigail Hope Vernon has been officially welcomed into the family. Lori did amazing and things progressed pretty quickly: we left for the hospital at 6:00 am and were holding our baby girl at 10:30. I will let her share all the details with you over the next week, but here are the vitals:

Date: August 10th, 2007 - 10:30 am
Weight: 3,550 grams :: 7lbs 13ounces
Length: 55 cm :: 21.5 inches
Everything Else: PERFECT

We are overjoyed, ecstatic, awestruck and amazed. Praise God for this beautiful baby girl!

Here are a couple of pictures to hold you all over until we are back home with a camera and computer (sorry, no thumbnails and I didn't resize them so they are pretty big. If you want easy pictures wait for our next posts)
