FAMILY OF 5!!!

On Friday, July 30 our family welcomed our fifth member...


Samantha Grace
Samantha means "God heard; listener"
Grace means "favor; blessing" and was my Grandma's name



She was born at 10:59am

She weighed 8 lbs. 11 oz.

She was 21 1/2 inches

We are TOTALLY in love!

I have been trying to get a post up for a few days, but life has been full!
Enjoy a few pictures while you wait for the novel that will eventually break forth
sharing of the details and emotions of the day we met our girl.

So very, very happy for you, Elissa! I'm praying that you all adjust smoothly to being a family of 5. And may Samantha know all the love and cherishing of her Maker, through the family she's been blessed with.

She is absolutely beautiful! Glad that Aunt Sue and Uncle Glenn are going down to meet her. Wishing I was able to get down.

She is just gorgeous, Elissa! Congratulations on your new addition. I hope you are all adjusting well (and perhaps even getting a wink or two of sleep!?).
