Elise Gracelynn Smith

We are all home from the hospital now Addie and I went and picked Cort and Elise from the hospital around 10 am. Driving home was a different experience to have another child in the back. Thanks to everyone for the support, comments, visits and so on they are very much appreciated, it is so comforting to have such an awesome support group of friends and family that are always willing to lend a helping hand. Cort is doing awesome the nurses could not believe how good she was feeling in such a short period of time. We would have come home yesterday but we needed to milk AFLAC (no pun intended) for all we could and besides it was good for Cort to have a little more time to herself. I am sure that the next week or so will continue to be an adjustment for small family so wish us luck. Here are the pictures I promised would be posted it is a short cliff notes version of the over 150 pics that have been taken in the past few days.


Addie and Elise

Addie was very excited that baby sister finally came out!



The new family of four




Doesn't Cort look amazing! (she would rather I not post this picture, but o'well I thought it was a total "Kodak moment" that needed to be shared) Elise has already found her thumb.Daddy daughter time. Aren't we cute together she definetly has the "Smith Stamp"
Addie is so proud to be a big sister
