Our Sweet Baby Girl

Here are Charlotte's newborn pictures. I absolutely love them! One of our friends here in Omaha is an amazing photographer and she took these when Charlotte was 6 days old.

Charlotte

Charlotte Michelle Jacobsen made her arrival into the world on December 5th 2011 after a quick four hour labor. She weighed 7 pounds 5.9 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long and absolutely perfect in every way. We couldn't be happier parents.


One of her newborn pictures. More to come....













Her first day of life....















Life doesn't get any better than this.















A couple of hours old. Just getting settled into the recovery room.













































So glad Grandma could be here.















A very proud papa...

Trip to Nauvoo

On our way to Columbus Ohio for Matt's externship we decided to spend the weekend in Nauvoo. It is such an amazing place and we had a great time. We were able to pack a lot into a couple of days.

Carriage ride through Nauvoo.
































This was the Browning gun shop, one of many restored houses in Nauvoo.






















Statues of Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith next to the temple.

















Matt resting in our hotel room at Hotel Nauvoo after a long day.

















The Trail of Hope memorial listing all the people that died before they reached Salt Lake.

Standing in front of the Mississippi River in the yard of Joseph and Emma Smith.
















Graves of Joseph, Hyrum, and Emma Smith.

Sunday morning we went to Carthage Jail. This was my favorite part of the trip.
