Introducing Lily Margaret Mauthe On October 21, 2009, the Mauthe family welcomed its newest member: Lily Margaret Mauthe. With a scheduled C-section and memories of Aidan's delivery in our head, we were definitely concerned about what was to come, but everything went as well as it possibly could. And little miss Lily? Well, she's gorgeous. |

 |
| A last few snapshots of the family before it changed forever,
with Aidan and Mommy hamming it up for the camera. Well, and the giraffe. That guy is a ridiculous ham. |

 |
| Lily Margaret, literally moments after birth. |
Even during a C-section, Mom is the first person to get to hold her baby daughter. And rightfully so. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Daddy's first chance to hold his little girl. |
After the operation and some rest, Mom and Lily get to really talk. And sleep. |
Laurie and Natalie hold little Lily in what turned out to be an awfully arty shot. |
 |
 |
 |
| Natalie takes a turn for herself, while Laurie itches for more. |
Mom-Mom welcomes another grandchild to the fold, and |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Pop-Pop, looking all proud. | Mom, looking all proud. And tired. And ready to get the camera out of her face. |
Lily, just tired of the paparazzi. |

| In which Josh attempts to take a few pictures with his cell
phone camera while holding Lily, and learns a) that his cell phone takes pretty good pictures, and b) that it's kind of hard to take pictures of people you're holding. |

 |
| Mom and Dad take a minute to take in what exactly they've done to their sleep habits. |
In which Laurie and Natalie return. Baby hogs. Hmmph. | |
 |
 |
 |
| Mawmaw and Papaw come out to see another addition to the matriarchy. |
Big brother's first meeting with his baby sister. Rivalry? Friendship? Which would come next? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| It looks like friendship. | Aidan, ever the big brother, has some presents for Lily. |
Aidan, getting a little close and personal... |
 |
 |
 |
| ...and then actually getting to hold his baby sister (with an assist, of course.) |
Memaw and all the grandbabies. And candy. Memaw is very brave. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Mom and Lily take some time with no company around to just bond and talk a bit. (Mainly gossip.) | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Aidan, with much less of an assist, holds his baby sister
and gives hugs and kisses. Definitely unsure, but getting happier and happier about it all. |

 |
 |
 |
| Getting ready for the trip home. | Bundled up and actually awake! | Trying studiously to ignore the lens in her face. |
 |
 |
 |
| In which Lily finally just gives up on avoiding the camera and checks it out. |
Legal proof that we actually had a car seat and buckled her in. Take that, tabloids! |

 |
| The vital stats. | Family movie night. And by "movie", I mean "dinosaur show." |
