Elliana Rose Hess comes home...

Hey Everyone,

So on Sunday the boys and I went to the store to buy some roses for our newest member to our family. Josiah picked out a dozen of little yellow roses for his sister and Hudson and I bought a dozen of white roses for mommy. We headed to Women and Babies. Lets pick up the story from the parking lot...

Dad are you sure mom is going to like these...they are kind of heavy....

Come on Hudson, mom's going to love them...

It's this way...come on lets go!!

Let's race dad!!

Where is the room?

So, I introduce you to our newest little member to the Hess Family:

The Boys meet little Lady Hess

Well it is 1AM and I am just putting my little baby girl down to sleep...so I thought I would blog a little more because I love my family so much and can't wait to share more with you!!

So this series of images are the boys coming in to see mommy after her very long day of giving birth. Allison's mom was watchin the boys and it was about 8:30pm in the evening. As you can see they are dressed in their pajamas. If that is not cute enough...they came bustin in the door of the hospital all excited to see mommy and their new little baby sister. So lets pick up the story line...

Hi Mommy...where is little baby hess?

wow daddy...she has ears! I kid you not...Josiah says to me..."she has ears!!" why are they so small...?? We all started laughing and the nurse said she was about to cry...(the nurse took the picture for me..great job)

Hudson gets a birds eye view with the help of Allison's sister Annie and Uncle Nigel...

Josiah checking out little lady Hess up close...great job mommy!!

Hudson getting a closer look too...he was wide eyed and just in awe of mommy and his new little sister!

Josiah just lookin at how beautiful his little sister is...

to finish the first meeting Nigel captured this great family picture...our first official family picture of our new family!! I love Josiah laying his head down and Hudson looking around at all the cool stuff he wanted to get into after he was down to roam. We are so blessed!!


Well, it is now around 1:30AM and I just rocked little lady Hess back to sleep...so I will need to sign off for now so that I can blog more and formally introduce you to our new little lady Hess. Check back soon...really soon!!

Welcoming a new little Lady!!!

Hello Everyone,

You might be wondering why you have not heard much from me in a bit...well I have been preparing for Allison and my third child. I literally have been working non-stop preparing for little lady Hess to arrive around Nov. 1st...but she and mom thought it best to come a little earlier!!

So here are a few images to tell a small window of our little ladies arrival. Allison had signs of early labor Thursday AM...but they were just to get us excited for Friday...around 3AM, Allison started labor pains and around 10AM is where we pick up the story:

Allison starting to think it is time to go into the hospital!!

We are waiting in the triage unit...it was around 10:20AM Friday morning...

Waiting for little lady Hess to decide she wanted to come out and meet us:)

She decided...

Everything was looking good

prepared and ready...

just waiting...

well...this is where the photo story stops and little lady Hess gets untangled from her umbilical cord by the help of the great staff at Womens and Babies and of course mommy!! Allison had labored through some very hard contractions into the afternoon and after a few very uncomfortable changes of positions...little lady Hess was free enough to come out and see us...

So, at 4:41pm on Oct 24th, 2008 we welcomed little lady Hess into the world.

She is getting checked by the staff in this pic as we were overwhelmed and blessed by our new, beautiful, healthy baby girl.

the Staff working through the documentation...

Check out those cute little toes...

she is officially ours...lady hess!!

a blessed mommy...

Here is our first picture together with my incredible wife and new little lady!!


So I have more to share but I have to help mommy with the boys! You will need to check back to find out her name because at this point in the story we were not sure what her name was to be...check back soon...I won't make you wait too long!! Off to feed the boys and mommy!

Jill & Jason

Jill & Jason (a super sweet couple) spent their special day in the (super sweet) town of Hershey, Pa! ;o) The day started off in the awesomely spacious Founders Hall which definitely made for a grand entrance for the guys and gals alike. After spending some time around the Hall, it was only fair to stop and snag some images near the coasters! Then it was off to the reception to greet their family and friends at the Hershey Country Club. We had so much fun being a part of your day Jill & Jason!
