Welcome Marie Grace!!!!

After two long weeks of "the baby who cried labor" we are thrilled to announce that Marie made her grand debut last night! The birth went very well, and Marie, Mommy, and the family are all doing well.



Born at 10:17pm on 11/26/12
7lbs 4.5oz
19 3/4in
with deep blue eyes and a very full head of hair :-)



Katherine got to meet Marie today, and she did a great job being a big sister. She picked out a blue pig (a current obsession of hers) and a blanket to give to Marie, and Marie gave Katherine an Elmo book. Katherine didn't seem to totally understand what was going on, but by the time she left, she was sure to share a hug and kiss with her baby sister.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support. We are so blessed not only with beautiful daughters, but with amazing friends and family to encourage and support us as well.

GG thinks that Marie is one beautiful baby that God has sent to Julie & Ted & Katherine to watch over. GG was lucky to hold her for a long time today while she slept,
