A day to celebrate!
 

Today was truly a wonderful day for our family. At 2:20 this afternoon my wife gave birth to our third child. Meredith Joy came into the world very healthy at 10 pounds 4 ounces and 21 inches long. Our two sons are excited to have a little sister to love and protect. The nurse in charge of the nursery said, after bathing Meredith, that she is a water baby (because she seemed to enjoy bathing). I couldn't have been more proud:D

Happy Happy News
 

It is so nice to hear good news, and what a great day it was. Best wishes to you all. Nice family but what a big baby. Love and enjoy her little girls are a lot of fun.

Congratulations are in Order
 

Congratulations to your wife and you on the birth of your daughter. May she be the apple of your eye. :)
BTW does her name, Meredith Joy, have anything to do with your love of the lake? Certainly sound like it to me.

The name is most definitely connected to our love of the lake. I can't wait to show her it's beauty. It's too bad ice-out wasn't yesterday. I had originally picked the 18th (her due date), but she out guessed me:)

Congratulations!
 

Great news!.. and a wonderful name! I seem to recall a post from you about a family celebration in Meredith last September.. and seeing a rainbow after a sudden storm.. :D

Get ready Dad.. having a girl will change your life.. in a good way! Take it from one who knows!

Check this out! Looks like you picked a great name.

Congratulations and......
 

We welcomed our little girl Paige Elizabeth on Monday the 16th. Her brothers who are twin boys are so thrilled to have a baby sister. I can feel your joy as we are equally elated.

WOW 10 pounds!!! I thought we had a big girl at almost 9 pounds 19.5 inches. :D It is nice to have big healthy sturdy babies. Our boys were on the smaller side and it was so nerve wracking to have such fragile little infants.

The boys are all over her right now hanging over her bassinet trying to kiss her while she sleeps.


Congrats again!

New baby

It used to be the 27th which is my anniversary, sorry hon.

Congrats!
 

Always nice to get the news of a happy event! "Good for You!"

Congratulations
 

Congratulation to both Rinkerfam and to Hazlnut.

The lake just became a little happier!
 

May the smile of the Great Spirit shine down on little Meredith and Paige Elizabeth.
