Brooke Elsie Ribeira



Brooke Elsie Ribeira was born at the UC Davis hospital on Friday, September 30, 2011, weighing 6 lbs. 15.5 oz, and 19.5 inches long. Here are some pictures of Brooke and our family during her first three weeks, beginning with her arrival home:

Joey and Elise were the first non-family friends to hold her. They drove up Sunday afternoon when we were released from the hospital.

Probably my favorite picture of our kids so far:
