Surprise!

We had a little surprise earlier this week and our little peanut came a few weeks earlier than expected.

Arvella Karst Simmons, "Vella", was born Tuesday, 9/17/13 at 6:18pm.

She was 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 21 inches long.

We are all doing well and getting used to our new family.  Here are a few pictures of our sweet baby girl:

Our first outing to the doctor, I think purple is her color

I hope you all have a relaxing track out, I will do my best to continue weekly updates as to what is being taught in the classroom.

Report cards will be going home one week later than previously expected.
