Presenting...our beautiful "GIFT"...

Mattie Elizabeth LaFaye
Born on Wednesday, August 16, 2006
9:42 pm
7 lbs. 11oz.
21 inches long


So sorry for it taking so long to get to the playroom where the computer is..I feel like I am on a field trip down here. Hee Hee
I had A LOT of swelling in my legs and feet..wasn't a pretty sight..let me tell ya..my sister Sherry took a pic of my legs and feet..they were just so strange looking..we laughed a lot about it!
I want to say thank you to all my friends at ScrapIt! ..I am so thankful for all of you..Annie brought us food last night..it was delish! She gave me the schedule for who is bringing dinner and when..I can't thank you all enough..I appreciate all of your friendships so much..this is the first time I have experienced something like this..when Annie called me Sunday to tell me of the plans..I got choked up and could barely explain to Rich about the meals that were planned.
My friend Miss Betty Adams showed up with lunch yesterday..she brought a casserole,fresh garden tomatoes,dinner rolls, garlic bread & brownies..and we gobbled it right up!
I love you guys..thanks for everything!

Mattie laying on her pretty pink blankey from Uncle Roger & Aunt Cassie..posing for the camera with her baby doll in a sweet little outfit from her Great Aunt Cherry..this taken at the hospital..this is the pic we put in her birth announcements. So you all should be receiving one real soon..they went out yesterday..finally.

She is perfect!
What a blessing she is.

Congratulations to all of you! What a precious bundle-I've got to ask...did you have heart burn with her? I've heard lots of heartburn means lots of hair...YOU MUST HAVE BEEN ON FIRE!
Tell Isabelle that she makes a beautiful big sister and a wonderful role model for little Mattie!

Renee: Nope ZERO heartburn!! It is so sweet to see all that hair..my other two babies were bald for a very long time. Richie was born with a head full of black hair like this..it all fell out..then came back blonde.

Hi Jill!!! I didn't know your e-mail. I just wanted to say I'm so sorry I haven't been to see you! The day after you had her, I went to work and I had planned to come to the hospital but I had been up during the night with a stomach bug and I was afraid it might be a virus so I stayed away. Then the last day I worked, I had a class that night and didn't get out until 9 pm! I would love to see you soon. I heard about the volunteer food but trust me, you do NOT want my cooking. LOL! I will try and find a time to come see you. Miss you! I'm so glad you're doing well. The baby is beautiful - just like you!
