A Day, A Week, Hemant, A Year

On Thursday, March 12 of 2009 my good friends Jason and Cheryl Fenrich became the proud parents of a new daughter, Jorja Ann. Later that day Jason gave me a call to announce the arrival, letting me know that everything went well, and that mother and daughter were both healthy.  I asked him to let me know when they were accepting visitors so Michelle and I could meet Jorja.

The following Monday I got a text from Jason (you heard me right – Jason now text messages regularly) inviting us over to see the new baby. Michelle was at school late that night so after I picked her up we headed over to Jason and Cheryl’s.

It had been a while since I held such a new baby, but I think I did alright. She mostly slept while I held her which was alright by me. The less squirming meant the smaller chance of me dropping her. It was Michelle’s turn next and she looked like a natural holding Jorja. I think her motherly instincts kicked in.

I look forward to taking pictures of this cutie in the years to come.  You can see my first shots of Jorja on my Flickr site by following the links below.
