Pictures from SLC

I finally got to sort though some pictures. Here are some of my favorites... Okay a lot of favorites. It was an eventful trip. ;-)

Amber Shirley Knapp.... The whole reason for this trip. Isn't she a beauty!!!

Amber and Andrea, right after her first bath. They put the cutest little bow in her hair. A very Proud PaPa. They were so happy and it was wonderful to be there and enjoy the spirit that is present when a new baby comes into the world.
She is about 24 hours old in this picture. She would only sleep if I kept her covered. Here she is getting her bath, this was shot through a window with those stupid wire things running through it, and it was not the cleanest window on the planet either. I am quite happy with the results from this bath shoot. esp considering the conditions. I am standing on a chair in the hall to get this one. Can't you just see it. :-)
Newborn toes. I love all the little signs that she is still in the hospital.

I tried to take some pictures of her, but there was NO natural light in her hospital room. It really stunk. She also wanted to be awake, and I wanted her to be asleep. :-) Humm, so far, she is not doing much of what I want her to do....... Like coming on time! Silly girl.

This is Tori and Brandon, her cousin.... is he just the cutest little thing. This little boy belongs to Brent's brother Brad and his wife Jodilyn. He loved Tori, he is just playing cool. ;-)

Okay, so now that I see all these adorable kids all grouped together, I have to admit, there must be something cute in the wall genes, cuz every one of these little monsters is as cute as can be. Either that or the all the Wall men married well. :-) This is Brad and Jo's littlest one Natalie, she and Katie are a month apart. They were fun to watch. I learned that Katie needs to be spending more time with friends her age, she has become a little hitter, and it has to stop!
Tori looked forward to seeing Uncle Jeff for a long time. She loves him so much. When I told her that we had to go the airport the next morning she cried and cried. She was not ready to leave her Uncle Jeff. They had such a wonderful time together. I took this picture so that she could have it to remember him. It was all I could do to get her to stop crying.

She was just too cute to resist.

This little guy is named Grant, he was adopted from a mother out here near us, some place in Virginia. His parents, who are friends of Andreas, came to stay with us when they were waiting for time to pass until they could take him home. That was a year ago, he has grown so much!

I love the little drop of drool.

Friends so so cute in black and white. :-)Sisters!! Katie was not cooperating while I had the beautiful back drop of my father in laws new home. She really didn't want to take photos. This was the best of a lot of tries!
We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Davies while we were there. (Brent's moms Parents) The girls loved it and so did Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa even had some of his delicious Oatmeal choco chip cookies, MY FAVORITE! He makes the BEST ones in the world. We had a great time with them.

We spent a lot of time before Amber came visiting around with family. We had a great visit with Anne in the hospital and another visit with Anne in the Rehabilitation center. I think she really enjoyed Tori's visit and Tori asked over and over to go back and see her again. They were really cute together.

It was so fun to go and visit with family and so wonderful to be there with my little sister and her new baby.
