Pioneer Day Arrival: Quite a trek for Mom and Baby




Ian Andrew Harris was determined to arrive on Friday, July 24th. Laura awoke feeling chills and fever and made a quick trip to the hospital where her doctor decided on an emergency C section. Both mom and baby are doing well. Laura was released yesterday. Andrew has a few more days of precautionary antibiotics and observation at St. Johns hospital in Oxnard. I drove over to see Ian only a few minutes after he was born and he looked wonderful!! Will has a brother! This makes five grandbabies. Joy!
Derek and Hillary and Jocelyn arrived last Wednesday, so they were on hand to share in the excitement. Lots of sunny days and we hit all the local parks--whiffle ball with cousins at Cerro Vista and crab digging at the beach by the pier in Ventura. Jocelyn is a delight. Very talkative. Used the TV remotes like they were cell phones and talked away. Loved to be held and read to. Derek finished his internship in Salt Lake and they enjoyed their days in the Salt Lake. A wonderful chance to visit with Hillary's extended family. They hope to return to Marriott after Derek graduates in December. We will miss seeing them until then!
