Here’s the top five viewed posts from March 2010.

2. Adele Lynn Criner – this is the first pictures of Adele posted on the ole’ internet!
4. Abigail singing first song to Adele [Video] – probably one of my favorite moments in the hospital.
6. Adele is sleeping! – a picture of our sweet girl resting in the hospital
8. We are home and happy! (and a video to boot!) – a crying baby is fun to video.
10. Adele in her take home outfit – this is one of my favorite family pictures right before we left the hospital.

Can you see a theme? Yes – it’s Adele, and more Adele… it’s been a furious month and she’s about to be a month old soon!! Can’t believe it. We are thankful for the (literally) 4,000+ views of the website this past month. We are blessed indeed.

Well, we’ve made it through our first week with Adele! I think we’ll keep her.

We’re beginning to find the new normal with her… mainly how I will have to adjust at work, how much I work from home, my reading habits, etc. So far, we’ve made the transition pretty well. Adele loves to sleep, so there are a lot more quiet moments in our home than I thought – but that will change I’m sure.

I think one of the neatest things with this season of life is the adventure of this new territory. The house now has bottles and burp rags and onesies, etc… things that really weren’t around before she came along. And I’m glad these things are here. The Lord has a wonderful way of giving you grace and favor to prepare your heart for these moments. Adele could cry and it really doesn’t phase me… I still love her. She could poop all over herself – yep, still got love for her.

So, we’re embracing this time… it’s only been a week but we’re loving it. Below is a video of Adele in the Hospital nursery… only I was able to go into this room. It was a sweet time for me. It’s also a short video because while I could watch it 1,000 times, you probably don’t care as much.

Apparently, everyone else has had their picture taken with Miss Adele but me – I looked back on the ole’ photos and noticed that there is only ONE. And here it is.

Here is Adele looking around the room and sneezing (once) this is from her first day. Hope you enjoy!

Here is Adele giving us her first hiccups! I know, I know, she’s going to be giving us a lot of hiccups, but these were her first out side of the womb. We thought you’d enjoy another short clip, so here she is!

We had a dear friend, Ashley Martin, make our door-hanger and honestly, it’s perfect!! Trust me, there are a lot of ugly door-hangers out there… but I tend to have a couple of opinons.

If you would like to contact Ashley Martin, go to her website HERE. Thanks Ashley for making our door-hanger the envy of others in the hospital!

Well… she’s here! 7.4lb 19.5″








Today is the day that everything ‘officially’ changes. Yea, we’ve been prego for 9 months, but today our little girl will come. So, we’ll be doing our best
