A Few Weeks of Life with a Family of Four

Before I bombard you with cuteness of new baby, I'll fill you in on other affairs going on in the Harris house.

Me, I've been feeling great and getting out some mornings with Luna for some fresh air (and before the 90+ degree daytime).  Mormon temple in the distance, only a few blocks from our house.


My walking partner.



Tuff, he has been back on the trail.  Yesterday he spoke in South Dakota Shannon County School District to an audience of about 400 faculty and staff.

He also spoke last Sunday at Spirit of Life Lighthouse for the Nations Four Square Church in Crow Agency for The 2014 Conference, sharing his testimony and preaching.  He followed Yaseer Handall of Mexico. For those interested, you can click on the link below and watch (Tuff starts in around minute 36).

Tuff, Hannah (Kens wife), Yas, and Pastor Ken Pretty on Top.


Tuff and Yas another night of the conference.

While Yas was in Billings, he stayed with us at our house.  He was such a blessing to us as he and his wife are pursuing Native American ministries in California, and have much wisdom to share.  

We visited Pompey's Pillar Monday (photos are from Yas).  




Grace didn't want to take a family photo.  Can you tell?



Cranky but cute.

Yas captured this moment with Liza, just two weeks old.


Ok now on to our new bigger family!  

Visitors

I tried to remember to snap a photo of all that came to see us but failed as usual.  From most present to hospital, below are pictures we accumulated:

Madingers.  They brought their family and a delicious meal on Saturday.



Jessica brought not one, not two but three meals!  Spoiled us rotten.


Rick basking in putting baby to sleep.


Amanda dropped in for company and snuggles.


My mentor and friend Robin brought a meal and love.


Caywoods!


Amara and Grace painting rocks.


Diana dropping in at hospital before we headed for home.  She brought a beautiful outfit for Liza and a "big sister" button and stuffed animal for Grace.


Ma'am loving two day old Liza Love.


Auntie Jeri Lyn showering Liza with more love.


Cuzzies!  Kaydee was a natural nurturer.  The girls picked out some goodies for Liza.


Lyman family.  Addaleigh and Liza share a birthday.  July 26th Addaleigh turned 1.  Maybe next year they will share a party?


Miss Amanda visiting at hospital.  She brought Grace presents and me flowers.  So sweet.


Day one of Liza's life in the world.  Surrounded by family.



Auntie Toni.


Papa and Ma'am.


Uncle Roger and Auntie Darlene.



While Ma'am and Jeri Lyn took care of Grace, Jeri Lyn sent the photo below of everyone.  I love this photo.


Tuff's mom stayed with us a while after Liza was born to help out, mostly with Grace.  It was really nice to have extra hands as Tuff has gone back to working and traveling.

Hospital Moments

Moments before Liza was born.  I felt amazing and just wanted to stand!


View from labor room.


First photo after birth, she came out squeaky clean.





Big Sister, meet Little Sister.
