Steve took charge of the morning shower and getting dressed events prior to church. I think he appreciates my days a bit more now, considering it wasn't 20 mins after that they both fell asleep. I don't know who was more worn out.

Ahhhhh Relief
Sleeping during the day is something that Isabella has not mastered yet. This is the reason for the picture. We needed to document the few times she sleeps for over 1 hour.
Budding Beauty
She despised her costume so these are the only pictures we could get without her wanting to make mom and dad pay later!
Pumpkin Carving Time
We finally got the nerve to climb to the top of our garage and get the box down with all the supplies needed for pumpkin carving... and away we carved. Kim and Kelsey helped with the layout and craftmanship. We were very proud of the end result especially when trick-or-treaters wanted the pumpkins for next year instead of candy.
Greeter into the World!!!!
The common phrase that you forget the pain experienced from labor was aided thanks to Dr. Parham (and modern drugs).
Pumpkin Patch
We took Isabella to her first pumpkin patch. Since she wasn't able to pick the "Great" pumpkin this year we used the experience as a fall photo opp.
One Week Old
Isabella is already one week old and changing so quickly. She left the hospital weighing 6 lbs 3 oz and at one week weighs 6 lbs 14 oz. People would pay good money for my RICH/CREAMY milk.
September 7, 2007 we experienced the greatest blessing that we could have ever imagined. Isabella Eve Hinds (6 lbs, 6 oz, 19 1/4 inches) greeted us after 11 hours, 7 of these hours were "only" hard labor. The rest enjoyed by man's invention of the epidural or a little bit of heaven. Steve was a great motivator to get the job done because he just wanted to see his little girl. It was amazing, exhausting, miraculous, and life changing in a matter of moments... and she is beautiful.
