Ella Eyes Open

Don't mind the middle finger, she's innocent.













There's the profile of the flat nose, it's popped back up now, her eyes are so pure and angelic.


















These are some of Ella's first moments in checking out her new world.


















There's Crystal's hand IV and all taking care of the El, she is such a good mommy.













This may be the only smile we have been able to document so far, she has quite the personality.

Ella Marie - The New Addition pt 2



Proud Uncle Dallon holding his little niece.
















Here's Grandpa Henkel lovin' the little one.


















Here's one proud Grandma - and one sleepy baby.


















Ella is so adorable, a perfect little angel.













Ella is being blinded by the light of this "incubator" light at the hospital.










Finally leaving the hospital with the baby!


















This picture is today, the 11th, she was getting ready to take her first car ride home from the hospital.

Ella Marie - The New Addition


April 10, 2007

Today Crystal was admitted to the hospital at around 2:30 am. Needless to say, this picture is pre-heavy labor.







Ella Marie Henkel
Just barely after birth, feeling pretty confused about this new world!













This was shortly after the birth, she was very peaceful for a newbie.














Her poor little nose was a little smashed from the birth, but by the hand position you can tell she is planning her next move.














Grandma Lamb, she was so excited!


















This is right after birth, Ella was an 8lb 1oz and 19 3/4 inch long bombshell! She is angry like a badger right now.
