Labor Day Weekend in Tucson

This past weekend we packed up the car and headed down to Tucson to visit Dan's parents, Dan's sister Tanya and son Dylan who were both in town from Denver. On Saturday Grandma JoJo made arrangements for Dylan and Lauren to have their picture taken together. It didn't quite work out as planned as Dylan kept hiding behind the backdrop, he wasn't too interested in sitting next to his cousin to have his picture taken. However we got great pictures of both Lauren and Dylan individually. Maybe someday we'll be able to get them in a picture together.

Lauren is ready for her photoshoot.

Dylan was having a good time with Uncle Dan in the pool.

Lauren hanging out with her Auntie Tanya.

While we were there we visited Daniel's Grandma, Meme.

Lauren loves her Grandma JoJo to rub her back, she was in heaven.

We asked Lauren if she was ready to leave this is how she responded.

New Addition to our family

Finally my first post. Yay! After a slightly complicated delivery Lauren Olivia Tyrrell was finally born on July 14, 2009, at 1:32 p.m. weighing 6 lbs 4 oz and measuring 20 inches long.

Daniel with Lauren just minutes after she was born.

Lauren had a small cut so she had to be sent to the NICU at Desert Banner. This is her hooked up to the IV, poor little thing.

Lauren's first days at home.

Mattie is very intrigued with her. I think she's more interested in smelling the diaper...blech.

After her first bath.

Lauren with her cousin Teagan, they are three months apart.

She has quite a concerned look on her face.


One of her first smiles caught on camera.

Reading Olivia with Daddy.
Do you thinks she looks like Mommy or Daddy?
