Party of Five

We welcomed Frances Fernweh Gorham into this world on February 19.  

We are all so happy.

My support crew!

At the hospital
Conor is signing papers while the kids and I sit together on a cot in the ER. We are all a little sleepy but EXCITED!

Our little sister arrived less than an hour later!




Conor was in our post-delivery room with Elwood and Tohi while I gave birth to our beautiful and healthy daughter.  He and the kids excitedly kissed me and waved good bye as I was brought into a delivery room.

Just me and my girl.

My wonderful doctor took pictures with his own phone, unasked, right after the birth.  The emotions caught by his thoughtfulness are deeply appreciated by me and Conor.  





Just SO happy



Woody sweetly smiling and talking gently to his new little sister

And Tohi pinching her toes a little too excitedly

Life of a little sister

Just instinctively drawn to that soft spot


















Tohi associates being in the hospital with getting treats and snacks

This sweet boy associates it with being able to hold his sister.  








Shirt off.
"I'm here for the treats"


Hilarious Middle Child
Pretending to be the Baby




"I'm a little cold with no shirt on, I need this baby blanket."

"Doot, doo, doo. . . just tucking in the baby"

"Ah, night. night."


Frances Fernweh, we are so incredibly happy you have safely arrived.  We are all so crazy for you!
