Oh HAPPY DAY!!!!!

It happened!  It finally, really, really, finally happened!!
Welcome the newest addition to our family:
TY NICOLAS
born:  Oct. 1, 2008
6 lbs. 11ounces
20 inches





It has been well over a year of heart break and waiting and anticipating and excitement and let downs and wondering and hoping and praying and crying and alas, all that has paid off.  We can't wait to bring him home from the hospital tomorrow.  He's an easy going, beautiful baby and we feel so fortunate to be a part of his life.  Not too shabby of a birthday gift for me.  I told the kids that only good things happen on my birthday and this has definitely topped the charts as the best!!  Oh happy day!!

Wow. That is so exciting. And, no postpartum depression or maxi pads. It doesn't get much better than that. What a little blessing.

Congratulations!!! Don't you just love the miracle of adoption? Is this the first child you have adopted? I don't know if you knew that we adopted our youngest, Mia. It was a rollercoaster, but the most amazing experience of my life!! Enjoy that little bundle!

Congratulations Kroffs! Gib showed us your blog so we could see more pictures of Ty. He is so cute!

eBay said...

Holy cow! So I haven't seen you in a long time so this is probably a dumb question: did you adopt or were you pregnant? The comments make it sound like a surprise. I am happy for you either way! Congrats!!!

Hi Amy...you might not remember me, but I used to work for your dad. I came across Angela's blog through the Fall Bliss Fest website for Stephanie Nielson. Anyway, just wanted to say congrats on your newest addition. You have a beautiful family! I ran into Amanda and Angela a couple years ago at a swim meet in AZ. My email address is weavercollection@yahoo.com. I would love to add you to my blog and your sisters. Send me your emails! Stephanie Weaver (Johnson)

Sheryl said...

Oh Amy!! I am so happy for you. Aw, he is precious. I found your blog and I am so happy to keep up with your adorable family. Congrats--that is just perfect. What a lucky little baby.

Amy D said...

A huge congrats to the Kroff family! I don't know the details of how he came to be so lucky to be in your family, but what a doll he is! Give him a snuggle from me!
