Welcoming Summer Anne...

Summer Anne Roberts

She's here! Our second precious little daughter joined our family on Saturday, January 10, 2009. She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs 15 oz and measured 19.5 inches long (so much for thinking she was going to be a lot bigger than Dixie!) She's already wormed her way into our hearts and is so absolutely precious! 

Mommy & Summer

Dixie's learning to be "soft" with the baby

Can you see "sleep deprivation" written all over those eyes??! (and I'm not talking about Summer's!)

Grandma was able to join us from Cali just a few short hours after Summer was born
(Summer was too impatient to wait until Grandma actually made it to Texas) :)

We're all doing well and are enjoying having this new bundle of joy in our lives. I'm sure more details will follow, but right now sleep is calling my name! (What are the odds I'll actually make it to the bed before being distracted with something else to do?) :) Loves to you all and hope you're doing well!

Summer is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Congrats over and over again! I'm so excited for you! I hope your recovery is going well, Debbie--you look great.

I'm SO bummed I didn't get to see you guys during Thanksgiving. Now I'll have two adorable little girls to meet when we finally do get together someday.

Congratulations! Jan 10th is a great day to have a baby! Same day as Bradley's birthday! Exactly one year ago I was in your shoes... and now I'll be in them again in a few months. =) I love her name too. Anne is my middle name as well. "Anne with an E" like the girl from Anne of Green Gables. Good luck with everything!

What a cutie and little peanut. I love how Dixie looked so intent on now hurting her, that was precious. Get some sleep and good luck with her. I love new little babies.

Great day in January, pretty close to your mother's birthday. I laughed about Summer in Winter. I have to say that your baby is absolutely perfect. She is adorable.

I really liked the picture of Dixie crossing paths with Summer for the first time. Very precious picture.
That is so great that your mother could come. Now, make sure you rest so that you can gain back your strength. I can say that without you getting mad at me, because you
rarely see me. :)

Hey Deb how are you feeling. Mom said week two was much harder than week one:( Are things starting to get a little better? Bummer that Mom has to leave right when you need her the most:( Wish I could be there to help. Well, hopefully things will slowly get better. One day at a time. Guess what, you'd be so proud of me, we put Trey back on schedule and it's working like a charm:) Love ya tons Deb. Feel better. I'm thinkin about you!
