SYDNEY ELIZABETH HAS ARRIVED !!!!

Dearest Family & Friends:

We are home and we are thrilled!!! Our little angel Sydney Elizabeth joined the Lamberson family January 4th at 7:26am. We arrived at the hospital Friday morning at 5am, and waited anxiously for Mindy's 7am date with Dr. Hoegh and the awesome staff at Iowa methodist. A very smooth delivery followed, and Mindy and baby were back in their room at 7:40am. Joe was able to capture the event on video, which was an amazing experience! Dr. Hoegh asked if Joe wanted to capture the "procedure" on video. Joe quickly recognized that he'd best be positioned on the other side of the curtain to hold Mindy's hand. He intently stared into Mindy's eyes and listened carefully to Dr. Hoegh and his staff casually reminisce about their New Years experiences. Talk about having things down to a science!

Mindy and baby spent Friday, Saturday, & Sunday resting and big Sister Haley was phenomenal! She held the baby several times over the weekend, and our most precious moment was Haley singing the Barney song to Sydney as Baby sis smiled intently. It was priceless!

Mom and baby arrived home at 10:30 am today and are doing great. Haley met them with a big WELCOME HOME MOM AND SYDNEY sign and a big hug for Mom and baby. It has been an awesome experience, and we're looking forward to sharing more pictures with you soon!

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and well wishes!

All our Love,

Joe, Mindy, Haley, & Sydney
