Elise can swing all by herself.

Elise and daddy went on a "sortie" with other students to practice our French. Here we are on the world's longest suspension footbridge.

Aunt Heidi's been a great help during her visit!

Little mommy.

All proud.

We arrived at the hospital at 12:05 AM, Braden was born 12 minutes later! We were able to leave by noon the following day. Here is our first family picture "chez nous" (French for "at our house").

Elise's second meeting with her little brother was at home!

The new and improved Hofer family! Thank you everyone for your prayers.

First look at baby brother!

Where's his nose daddy?

Elise seems to understand that he's "come out" of mommy's belly.

Thanks for visiting our blog. Feel free to leave a message. Love, Brian and Sherri.

Daddy and Elise having fun!

Elise likes to swing. She hangs on tight, but Mommy is still a little scared!

Baby's due today! We had a great day outside as a family of three. All will soon change with baby's arrival.

Elise loves picking flowers...
