More Friends Visit




We are so thankful for the great community we have here in Williamsburg and all the wonderful visitors who have stopped by.  We also want to say that we miss our "Atlanta Family" and the great people who visited us for Sophia's birth in the ATL.  We hope you all can meet Olivia soon.  Today, three more girls from Nina's small group came by to meet Olivia as well as two guys from my small group.  Again, I have deep respect for guys who can show up with confidence in a maternity ward.  Thanks to Will for the Balloons among other nice gifts and to Rob for the shakes and smoothies.  Also Laurie Lee came by to share wisdom from her experience of being a mother to two.  Thanks to all who came by.

Some Close Ups of Olivia



A few days in we are starting to see what Olivia is really like.  She has a great personality.  She enjoys sleeping, eating and all the visitors that come to see her.

Nina's Small Group and Stephen Watts Visit




Stephen was a great sport.  As usual he was down for whatever and gave me some much needed man time over BBQ in the cafeteria.  Here's to a man who can show up in a maternity ward!
This last picture is very special for Nina.  When she was in high school her small group leader had a baby and her group took a picture like this sitting on the bed with their leader and baby.  Nina was very excited to see some of her girls and take the historic photo.

Jess Visits

Jess was one of the few people who was there right after Sophia's birth in Atlanta.  I think she appreciated the closer location of Olivia's birth.

Our First Family Photos


Nina and I both miss Sophia a lot so it was great that she got to come and spend some time with us and Olivia this afternoon. 

Family Comes to Visit




Last night we had grandparents, great grandparents, an aunt and a big sister come to visit.  Olivia felt the love

Olivia Gail Simone




Olivia Gail Simone arrived on November 3rd at 8:18am.  She was almost 8 pounds!  Nina grows em' big.  Her full head of hair was the talk of the nursing station.  I think she looks like she came came from the beach in the picture where Nina is holding her.  I will keep posting pictures as they come.
