Lucille Ann Marten's Birth Week

These pictures are pretty much in chronological order from the weekend before Lucille's birth to a few days after it. It starts out with family helping fix up the house and yard, moves on to Valerie's birthday party (1 day before her actual Feb 14th B-day), then to the morning of the birth (starting with inflating the birth tub between contractions), birth (which happened just before noon on Saturday Feb 19th), then to the events of the day and the people who came, and, near the end, back to working on the house and yard. This is page 1 of 3 of small "thumbnail" pictures. Click on thumbnails to enlarge them. Click at the bottom of this page to go to pages 2 and 3.
