World meet Avery ... Avery - World!

HELLLLLLOOOOOOO everyone! I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce everyone to Avery Grace Rulis. She was born at 9:00 p.m. on March 10, 2008. She came to the world at 6 lbs. 3 oz. and a full 17.5 inches.





She's got a full set of lungs on her and has absolutely no problem letting you know it ... but she is absolutely the most precious thing that either of us have ever laid our eyes on (as I am sure those of you with children of your own felt when your beautiful children were born). Well we finally were given the go-ahead to bring her home earlier today, and so we are getting settled in as a new family at home.



Finally, I also just wanted to say thank you to all of you for the amazing amount of encouragement that we received in the last week, your prayers and support was wholly overwhelming and completely incredible... so THANK YOU, we really appreciated it. Also, we readily accept more prayers as she has a little bit of jaundice (which you may notice in some of the pictures) and we really need her to get over it.

And so I leave you with a few pictures of our beautiful baby:
