Cassie's Journal - September 28, 2012


Congratulations, Angela and Terry!

That’s the big news for today – Valerie Anne Malloy made her appearance early this afternoon; and we made the flying trip to Crystal Springs so we could meet her; and share a bit of the first, happy moments with Dad’s best college friends.  Valerie was eight pounds and four ounces at birth; had all of the required fingers and toes; is perfectly healthy; and every bit as beautiful as her Mommy.  While she’s nearly a quarter bigger than Ethan and Ehlana were when they were born; she looked incredibly tiny in her Daddy’s big arms when he first showed her to us.  I’m sure that Valerie had his heart quite firmly wrapped around her little finger already too.

Angela was doing great too, though she was exhausted after being in labor for nearly twelve hours.  They had nearly all of both families, and a lot of friends stopping in too; so we didn’t actually get to spend much time with Terry or Angela.  We did stay for nearly two hours, and Dad especially enjoyed spending some time with Angela and Terry’s parents, brothers, and sisters; since he’d rarely seen them since college.  That was fairly boring for Ethan, Ehlana, and some of the other younger kids; so I ended up helping to entertain them in a play room along with a couple of Angela’s teenaged cousins.

We’d gone straight to the hospital from home, so when we left to head back to Witch Falls, we hit a drive-thru to get food; including a late-night snack that we delivered to Aunt Leanne when we got back to town.  We stayed long enough to give her and Uncle Adam the baby and trip details, and by then it was long-past time to get Ethan and Ehlana home and in bed.

I haven’t really gotten much computing done since climbing into bed with Mandy, but it’s been a long, busy day; and we’ve got a big yard cleanup day to look forward to in the morning.  With that in mind, it’s time to...

...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.

“Goodnight, Cassie.”
