Spring '08

Our new addition came to us yesterday afternoon. Erin was in labor for about 5 1/2 hours...about a third as long as she labored with Reagan (on Labor Day, no less.) 

Noelle was born 6 lbs and 3 oz...and looks like a mini replica of my Uncle Wayne, which, no offense Wayne, wasn't what we had in mind. 

Erin felt really good this morning so I took Reagan to debut in her first-ever primary program (Mother's Day) and then went back to the hospital to bring Erin home. It was everything I could do to convince her to leave the hospital food behind.  

We put together these pictures of Noelle's journey for those we wish could have been here with us. Life is good.

You don't know me, but I'm an old roommate of Erin's from BYU. I watched the video you made and literally cried. It was amazing. Congratulations to you all!

Tanner, if this whole PMBA thing doesn't work out (hah!), you have a future in tear-jerking videography. You have created a beautiful memory of a blessed event for your family and especially your children. Congratulations to you and Erin and may God richly bless your family.

I've been wondering when she was coming! What a beautiful video and what a miracle she is. Congratulations Tanner and Erin!

Congratulation! She is beautiful! We hope all is going well, we have been getting updates from Eric and you are in our prayers.

Hey Tanner and Erin,

Congratulations! I am so glad to have found you guys (this is Tanner's friend, Greg Packer). You were on my top ten list of people I had been wondering about since college. I randomly hung out with Jeff Jordan here in Chicago a few weeks ago and he had given me an update, but this is so much better! We just had two additions to our family two months ago today and navigating through the joys of parenthood ourselves (hence this message in the middle of the night). Hope you are doing great!

Greg and Lauren Packer

Love to all,
