Just minutes after I was privileged to bring her from the womb to Allie’s chest. What a speechless moment of awe!

Yes, I actually got to cut Gracie’s umbilical cord. It was not hard to do at all and worth it!

First family bonding time together, just the three of us!

Gracie reluctantly being weighed.

Daddy and his little girl!!

Happy Chambers family: Papa Jon, Unkee Josh, Grandpa & Grandma Chambers!

Mommy and Gracie

Daddy and Gracie (and the video camera of course!)

Little Peanut Muffin (that’s what we call her, among many other food items) in her car seat headed home for her first time! I had to make this one huge ’cause it captures the cuteness!

THAT’S IF FOR NOW. CHECK BACK LATER FOR MORE UPDATES AND PICS!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

Sincerely,

Jonathan, Allison, and Grace Chambers
