The Walsh Family: Playing Catch-up...

A Princess is Born...

Our beautiful Kaelyn arrived July 27, 2009 at 6:32 am weighing 8 lbs 3.9 oz and 20 inches long. After 6 hours of labor, she came right on her due date... although a couple doctors thought she would come a little earlier. We are so blessed to have a healthy baby girl join our family and we couldn't be more proud! She is absolutely perfect and brings so much joy to us! Here are a couple of pictures from when she was born...

All cleaned up and so beautiful!

Nana and Poppy Came to Visit...

My parents flew in August 1st and stayed for two weeks. We were so excited to have them here! It was there first time being in Europe and we kept them pretty busy. They were able to see quite a bit of stuff around here, went to London and also had a short trip to Paris! And of course the most important part of the trip... to see their first born Grandbaby! They were a HUGE help to us and needless to say, we were very spoiled having them here! Only wished they could have stayed longer!! Here are a few pictures of their visit...

Poppy loved pushing me in my stroller everywhere we went!

Kaelyn's First Photo Shoot...

We took Kaelyn to get her newborn pictures made on August 11, 2009 when she was two weeks old. It was even more special because my parents were here visiting and they got to come along and be apart of it too. The pictures were done by Becca Wohlwinder Photography. We found out about Becca through some other friends of ours that have used her. She is a military spouse living on base and trying to get a career started in photography. She is just the sweetest and most patient person, not to mention so creative! Becca is also who we used for our maternity pictures and we will definitely be using her a lot more over the next year that we are here. Most of you know that I LOVE pictures and just can't get enough!! Especially now that there is a baby in the mix! :) Here are a few of Kaelyn's newborn pictures...
