Welcome to the World, Amane!

Women of the Day: Mommy Michiyo and Amane (Ah-Mah-Nay) Mariel Fingerhut, born at 4:25 p.m. on April 10th, 2011.


First family pic at the hospital, with Hiroki and Michiyo's Mom Chieko.


Look at this hair!


First grandaughter for Grandma Julie and Grandma Chieko.


She sleeps A LOT--acting like a teenager all ready.


Hiroki cannot get enough of his new sister, and he's excited about the ability to tell everyone how old he is on his fingers.


We are so grateful for this perfect creature. Our friend Becky hand-made (!) a bunch of bows and gave them to us when she saw Amane's hair. Thank you Becky!


Love these two photos:



A friend of mine sent me a message the day she was born, that pretty much says it all:
Little finger wrapped? check! it will be for the rest of your life! :)

Hi,Joe and Michiyo!
Amane is such an angel!!!
I was gonna call you guys to ask Hiro out for a playdate again soon.
If the weather is nice on Wednesday,some of japanese moms and kids are going to Botanical garden.
If Chiekosan wants to(or I could pick Hiro) I could take him.
Ok,talk to you soon!
