Here are the proud parents on "the day after".
They are now all dressed and ready to go home. Kara made the cute outfit Elsie is wearing home. There - now you can see her hair. Now the real adjustment begins but I am sure they will do great.

Welcome Baby Elsie Bott
It is grandma's pleasure to introduce you to the newest member of our extended family. Elsie Bott is about 23 hours old here and she is a beauty. She has petite features and is very patient and mellow so far. I guess we should have taken the hat off so you could see her dark hair. It isn't very long but is quite dark and thick. That is quite a novelty in the Harrison family because all of our children had red or blond hair. Here are the proud parents on "the day after".

BABY ELSIE IS HERE!
Kara and Drew had their sweet little baby girl last night at about 7:37 p.m. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 12 ounces and is 18 1/2 inches long. She has short dark hair and looks great. I had the invitation of my life when Drew called me at about 1:30 p.m. and asked me to come and "sit" with them to give them moral support. The babies heart rate kept dropping and they threatened taking her C-section, but after a powerful priesthood blessing and some skilled medical procedures, her heart stabilized and all went well. Kara and Drew both did great and I was so proud of both of them. Kara was one exhausted little mommy last night when I left so I hope she slept well. I will take my camera up there today and take some pictures to post if it is alright with Kara and Drew. How blessed I feel to have another grand daughter here in Riverton and also for the opportunity to witness the miracle of birth and the power of the priesthood.

Building Interior Taking Shape and Kara Update
The exterior of the building is nearly complete. The masons came in last week and put the brick on the front of the building. It only took them two days. The only thing left on the outside is the gutters and downspouts and some concrete work. 
Here is the completed look of the brick. I think it adds a lot to the boring look of a steel building.
This picture is dark and hard to see but it shows that the mechanical crew has been in working on the duct work for the heating and air conditioning of the building. It is still a big, open, and dark building here. The plumbers and electricians have also begun their work.
In about a weeks time, they got up nearly all of the steel studs. I wish they were wood studs because you cannot attach anything to the walls with steel studs unless they reinforce them with wood. Therefore, I have had to try to decide where I will be attaching anything to the walls, such as bulletin boards, cleaning shelves, bookshelves, etc. I have about 10 or 12 catalogs of early childhood supplies memorized and I am getting tired of looking at them. The next big task will be ordering nearly $100,000 worth of furnishings and supplies. It is a bit overwhelming. 
Here is Melissa and Celeste checking out the progress with me. It will be their new "home away from home" as Melissa will be the director of the new childcare. We meet with the licenser tomorrow to start the licensing progress.
Some of you are checking our blog to get an update on Kara since she doesn't have a blogspot. She is now 11 days overdue and the Doctor admitted her to the hospital tonight (Tuesday) to prepare her to be induced tomorrow. Please remember her in your prayers. We all hope she has an easy delivery that it will be a wonderful experience for her and Drew.
