Operation: Baby Landstra: She's HERE!!!!!!!!!

Operation Baby Landstra has come to a successful end, as has temporary name 'Spot' (much to the delight of the grandmothers). Allison Grace Landstra made her appearance on Saturday, January 19 at 1:15am. She weighed in at a healthy 7lbs 8oz and 19 inches. Mom and baby Allison are doing great.

I (this is Matt - yes my first official blog post!!!) took this week off work and have been able to spend time with our new daughter. It seems that every 5 minutes Miranda and I are learning something new and exciting. Right now I'm watching Miranda file our daughter's nails (yes already her first spa day). I would have never thought that her nails were little talons that could scratch up her beautiful face.

We are excited to share this little bundle of joy with all of you and we greatly appreciate all the love and support we have had during the last 9 months and will continue to have going forward.

Here are some pictures of our beautiful daughter...
