Tara is here!!

All Austin babies have to get initiated into game night right away!!

Content grandpa!

After the fair and our stay at Harrises we went to settle back into our own cabin for a few days...only to get word that Tara was determined to be born 4 days before her due date. We quickly finished cleaning and laundering from the Graf group then headed for Idaho.

Tara is a sweet, perfectly formed, gentle and laid back little baby. She seems very comfortable to be here! She has the look of Amaya at birth but I have seen a lot of little Noelle expressions cross her face, so she will, no doubt, somehow be a composite of both sisters who adore her. Beautiful Colleen looks like she was never pregnant and is recuperating well. Their birthing center with mid-wife was a nice experience (except that Tara took a lot longer to come than the other girls). What a joy to have them closer than Florida so we can be with them. Nathan's bar exam is behind him and the waiting for results time and not working time allowed him to be home with Colleen. I don't know that we were exactly needed but we sure had fun taking the older girls to parks and playing with them while Colleen relaxed a bit.
