On November 29th at 12:23 am McKinley made our little family of 3 become 4.  Much to Britt’s great relief she came a few weeks early.  We are very excited to have her and very grateful to have her here safely.  She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and is 19 inches in length.  She came at a very convienent time, Britt’s parents and grandma were here for Thanksgiving, so we had our babysitters in place.  Lance was also able to be here, he had to leave for Ohio for 2 weeks on the 30th, so the timing was perfect! 

Enough talk, now it is time to show off our beautiful little girl!

This thanksgiving we were told by Britt’s doctor that we couldn’t travel more than 30 min away from the hospital.  Plus she had to work at midnight so we had to be close for that.  So we had our thanksgiving dinner at our place.

Here are a couple pictures getting prepared for the feast.  Also Derek and his girlfriend Ash came and wanted me to take some pictures of them.  All of these pictures were taken no more than 50 feet from our house.  A couple were taken inside, the rest were outside in complete darkness.  I setup my flash, one to go through an umbrella and the other was on camera.

I had to post this picture on the site.  I took this with my new flash and liked the way it turned out.  It looks like Mason was posing for me all serious like, but in reality he was jumping all over and climbing on his little red chair.  Just happened to sneak a shot in when he looked up at the umbrella flash.

Even though we’ve known it for a long time, we’ve decide that it is offical enough to put it on our website!  We are planning our naming our little girl Mckinley!  It is a name I have loved for a long time (we even were thinking of naming Mason that if he was a girl) and I am so excited to finally be using it!  The biggest decision that lies ahead for us is weather or not to use a capital k or not.  I like the way McKinley looks better, but I just don’t want her to have to spell her name every time she says it!  But it may be cute enough that she’ll have to suffer through!  Anyway, I’m hoping for a little advice if possible.  I know it’s getting close but I’m going to do a little poll to see what everyone thinks.   So please vote and tell us if you like McKinley or Mckinley better!
