July 4th 2010 and Baby Reed

This year Lyle and I went to the Hanford High Football field to view the fireworks. It was a fantastic show and a fun gathering of friends.This is Jesse and Kate. Their baby was due on the 4th of July. Does she look close to going into labor? NOOOOOO! Erika was joining Jesse and Kate. They were all new to the Hanford High Firework experience. Believe me, they liked it!Jeanine and Larry walked to the stadium and enjoyed the fireworks with us for another year.Lyle and Larry a little Looney! Must be the start of their names! Almost embarrassing! :)


One happy mama-to-be~ The show was wonderful! I am sharing 10 of my favorite firework pics (out of the 70 I took) for Cory and Annie. They said it was not a good year for Firework Shows in Brooklyn this year. They got nothing. It was too far to travel to Red Hook to see them and the Macy show was only on the West side this year.
So Cory and Annie....these are for you! Enjoy... a little late! Note, the color is washed out compared to the real deal, but they were beautiful!
This one was shot through a viewer-in-a-fan that was given to us as we entered the stadium. It really enhanced the lights.








So this brings us to today. Wednesday, July 7th. This is Ainsley Reed. Born July 6th at 6:23 pm. She weighed in at 8 pounds 3 ounces! Mom had about 3 hours of hard labor after inducing.
We have adopted this family and just had to go to the base hospital to hold this beautiful little girl. Oh yes, and see her parents.
Kate is such a proud mama. She did good!


In case you did not know, Lyle loves babies! He was such a good papa to our boys when they were babies. Well, he still is a good dad, But babytime is very special to him.


So Jesse is done sharing! He loves his little girl!

Kate is such a sweetheart sharing her new little bundle. She is so glad to have healthy little Ainsley.
Unwrapped and ready for Jesse to change her diaper. She is such a good baby. Not much crying to be out in this cold room.
It is fun watching the 2 guys taking care of this sweet little girl.
Ainsley latched on to Lyle's finger and was holding so tight, her little fingertips were turning white. After about 2 hours of baby holding, we went home. But the memories are forever.
Congratulations to Jesse and Kate on the birth of their perfect little girl, Ainsley.

I'm happy some of her first pictures are with me wearing a Denver Bronco hat since her dad is a KC Chefs fan and her mom is from Seattle. L
