Haley


Haley Grace Roderick
Length: 21.5 inches
Weight: 7 lbs 4 oz
Notable differences from other newborns: Gigantic feet and off-the-charts length.

Pictures only minutes after you are born are often not the most flattering. Here is one a few hours later. Haley is chilling under the heat lamp.

Grandma Roderick brought Cambri and Kate to visit the same day. The poor girls had a cough, so they had to wear a mask to be near Haley:


Jill's sisters threw her a "post baby" baby shower with clothes for Haley, See's candy for Jill, and milkshakes for everyone.


My mom is already in town, and Jill's mom is coming when mine leaves. Jill's sisters took a lot of time to show Jill how important she is to them. So many friends and family have called with congratulations and kind words. Local friends have already done so much for us and are planning even more. The company I work for and my colleagues have been very flexible and accommodating. I am full of gratitude for the blessings in my life, and I am grateful for times like these that help me reflect on what a good life I have.

congratulations Jill! She weighs exactly what Kimi did, and we like the name Haley too--Kimi was almost a Haley. How wonderful it is when they get out of you.
