Growing Fast

As I uploaded pictures a few days ago, it was amazing to see how much Sophia has changed since she was born. She'll be two months old on the 24th!

Here are some pictures to highlight the changes:

Welcome Sophia Liesl Haertel

On April 24th we welcomed the newest member of our family -- Sophia Liesl -- at 10:51 PM after a very quick labor (yeah! It made up for being 10 days overdue). She weighed 8 lb 11.5 oz and was 20 3/4" long. She is well loved by her brothers and sisters -- they give lots of kisses throughout the day. We're happy to have another little girl to love!
