Meeting Dr. V...

... for the first time that he can remember.
One of the heroes of our family is Dr. V., the doctor that delivered Lucas. After 22 hours of tough labor, he walked in and told Jeff, "I'll get him out", in a very soothing, matter-of-fact voice. It may have been okay without him, but to us he saved the day and was the first person to ever hold our little baby boy.
When Ellen was born he peeked in on us, but we were asleep, so he called us at home a few days later to make sure that we were okay.
I was very proud to introduce my babies to him this week. Lucas told him about the Curious George episode where he goes to the doctor and Ellen smiled at him so much that he asked if he could take her home : )

Hi Shanna--In this photo, we think Ellen looks just like Jeff when he was a little one. Love from Susan and Sandy (visiting Mother in Maine)
