We proudly present............

Olivia Jayne Ries decided to grace us with her presence 2 weeks before her official due date. She was born on October 11, 2009 at 5:01 am. Much to her parents disbelief (and Mommy's relief!), she weighed in at only 7 pounds, 13 ounces. It now remains a mystery as to why I grew to be so big. Perhaps there is a twin left in there or something!

Still can't believe how small she was! I never thought that we would have a chance to have an "average" size baby! We are so excited!

Olivia had many visitors in her first few hours of life. The most important (and beyond excited) being her big sister Audrey.

Olivia with her proud Papa!

Auntie Suz and Uncle Marc

In the arms of her Great Grammy.

I think that Grammy is very happy to be holding her third great grandbaby!

Great Aunt Nancy (aka Annie Nannie) thinks that Olivia is too pretty to pry her eyes away to look into the camera!

Great Aunt Jenny (We need to drop the "Great", much too young)!

Cousin Amanda. She said that she didn't like to hold babies. Olivia sucked her right in with her super power of extreme cuteness!
