Miss Ivy is expected to make her debut by the end of this week, let me tell you mom and dad are ready to meet her, along with the rest of the family.  There's no doubt this baby will be spoiled.  Grandma is already here from Virginia, anticipating her arrival and ready to eat up all the baby snuggles.  Not only are they ready to meet Ivy but mom has the nursery looking like something out of a magazine.  Amongst the stuffed animals sat a special bear on top.  A bear made specially for Travis out of his late mother's pajamas, a bear Ivy will grow to cherish as much as they do. 

Being friends with Emily and Travis for a few years now, I figured Travis would give me a run for my money, he can be a little ornery at times.  I assumed he would want to snap a few and call it a day.  To my surprise he was more than into, moving furniture, trying to take off screens, you name it and he was going to try it. Travis knew what capturing this little miracle meant to Emily and embraced every minute of it.  Congrats you two and to the whole Evans and Hitchcock gang, Ivy you're one lucky little baby.   - Machaela
