She's Here!!

Warning: Joe is posting this so it won't be pretty.

Cora Kay Lasura was born on August 20, and the Lasuras are very excited.  Especially her two big brothers.

Joan is such a good mom that Cora is already smiling, or it might be the gas.
Proud papa of a little baby girl.  Let the spoiling begin.
Here is the whole gang including "mini-baby" who we learned infant cpr on.  We left the creepy thing at the hospital. 
Our hotel door, welcoming the little bundle home.
This was Joan before the party started.  Oh, if she only new the joy that was to come.
Approx. 55 minutes later little Cora had arrived...naturally.  
The boys are happy.
The best big brother in the world.  

Mom and baby are healthy and doing great.  Thanks for all your emails and calls we love you all very much.
