The Jacobs/Rietveld clan has a new baby to add to the family tree.  

GRACEANN ALANA JACOBS was born on August 23, 2004 @ 6:42 PM in Palm Springs, CA.  Her parents are Jori & Brian (both adjusting well).  Graceann was 10 pounds 10 ounces when she arrived, 20 inches long and of course the most beautiful baby on the face of this earth.  Grandma Diane is thrilled to be able to announce her arrival.  Enjoy the new photos.  They will be updated as often as I can get them.

Jori is not so sure about this.

The family before Jori goes in for a c-section.  If you do not recognize the man in the picture, that is Diane's new husband, Don Scarbrough.

And then there is a BABY.  The miracles of medicine.

Isn't she gorgeous?  And yes, she is just as good as she looks.  

Here we are after one whole night of living.

Jori & Brian are VERY tired here.  It was a long night for them.

Here she is.  Welcome Graceann Alana.  We are praying for you even now.

The next edition of pictures.  Gracie (as we are calling her) is now about 1 month old in these pics.  Enjoy.

Here she is sleeping on the very quilt that her Grandmother made for her Mommy. 

Is this child just the best.  She can sure sleep.  

You will want to be sure to enlarge this one.  It is a winner in my opinion.  Are we just oozing personality already.  Jori & Brian, Look Out.  She is going to give you a run for the money.

11/1/04 - Here is the next set of pictures.  We just visited Jori & Brian and were able to get these adorable pictures.
