The Arrival of Hazel Louise Shirkey

Hazel arrived about 4 weeks early. She was such a surprise. Kelley and I couldn't believe it when we realized that Kelley was starting contractions.

Hazel was born on Thursday, November 18 at 5:31AM. She was 5 Lb 7 Oz and was 18.4 Inches long.

Here we are leaving the hospital after being there for quite a bit longer than we thought we would.
Meg and Lilly Caruso surprised us at the hospital on Friday morning.


Daddy and Hazel.

Some perspective. Hazel and Daddy's shoe...don't tell mom.
