Hello Michaela!

Ready or not, here she is! Michaela Rosa Flores was born happy and healthy, albeit a few weeks early, last week on June 22nd at 6:37 pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz and is 20 inches. After a bit of a scramble to get mumma to the hospital, daddy back from NYC, Colin picked up from day care and Trish and Dad Seymour to the hospital to be with Roberta in the interim, we had the best possible outcome ...our wonderful baby girl.



Michaela sleeps ...a lot! We figure that she's probably resting up for many, many sleepless nights around the 1 month mark. When she is awake, her eyes are bright and she takes it all in.



Colin adores his little sister. (Pronouncing the name Ma-Ka-Ka) He gives big hugs and kisses and is always on the watch for her eyes to be open so he can put his face right up to hers.

Saying Good Bye to Madison

Earlier today I was rereading my posting from about 2 years ago. The sadness and trepidation with which I initially set out to Madison after 6 months home with Colin is now nearly rivaled by the sadness with which we return home. After 2 years in Wisconsin, Colin and I can claim not only a very successful project delivery but good new friends and many, many wonderful memories.
