Lilian Claire Stapf









We got a new niece today. She was born at 7:01 this morning at the Feather River Hospital. She weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. She has beautiful eyes and thick, wavy hair. I wanted to hold her all afternoon, but I had some serious competition. The children were all so excited to see her!!
This morning we got the call just after 5 am. They needed Spencer to go over and take care of Ethan, Bonnie, and Eliza so they could get to the hospital. Delayne's contractions started at about 4:30 am. Unfortunately Brett was over at the Guadagnins as today is the opening day for dove season. Shannon and Doug had planned to go get some doves, but it was not to be. As they were pulling out of the driveway, Brett came out telling them that he had to get Delayne to the hospital. All worked out well. Delayne made it - we were worried, she did go so quickly! It was a hard labor for her, but I can tell you that she is doing fabulous now! What an amazing woman!!
Can you believe that I didn't get a single picture of the baby alone?!?!
