This week we added a fifth member to our family. Lyla Arlee Rauwolf was born on January 3rd, 2014, at 2:09am.  We have two boys, and now a sweet little girl! As a dad, I am totally excited.  I will share more about the birth and some candid pictures soon, but for now I just wanted to highlight a few formal pictures my wife and I took of her on her second day of life.

Newborn photos are fun because the baby is usually sleepy and you can pose them quite easily, but you usually have to try and catch them in their first week to really make it work well.

Technicalities aside, our household is simply enjoying a very rich time right now.
