Welcome Baby Jocelyn

Elsie, Mike & big brother, Aiden welcomed their new little girl, Jocelyn Myra into their family yesterday. She was born 2 1/2 weeks early but was a healthy 7 lbs 5 oz! Now if it weren't for the fact that she has been born into an Ohio State family, we might already have an arranged marriage worked out. But I don't know if the daddies would ever agree to a Wolverine-Buckeye union! :) Even so, we think she's adorable and can't wait for BabyW to meet her! Congrats Elsie & Happy Father's Day to the proud daddy &(the rest of the dads too)!

BabyW has a new cousin!

My cousin, Mike, and his fiance, Marilyn, had their baby girl today! Makayla Grace was born (5 weeks early) in Maryland and she is 5 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. The new mom & dad are doing well and super-excited. Mike manages my dad's Baltimore store and it worked out that my dad was up there teaching today so he got to meet his great-niece and see my aunt Brenda who flew in today from Florida to meet her first granddaughter. Here's a picture of the proud new dad and his little girl.

One more for the Girls!

Another baby is here and the girls' team has increased by one! Dana (Stephens) Wakefield & her husband Dylan welcomed their little girl, Lenox Elizabeth, into the world yesterday afternoon at 8 lbs. 8 oz! Congratulations!!

Lots & Lots of babies!

In the last month, five of my friends' babies have been born (two in the last week!) and I know of eight more who should arrive by the time Baby W. does, and then three MORE later this year! One thing's for sure, Baby W. should have plenty of friends to play with... 4 boys, 10 girls and 3 surprises! That's 17 new babies this year! Wow! I guess we're just at "that point" in life or something, huh? What blessings! I think what is most amazing to me is that I know these little ones are being brought into families who will teach them about the Lord and that each one of them will have such potential to have an amazing impact on our world! It'll be exciting to watch!

My friends Kären & Jared had their sweet little girl, Eliza Hope Fulton on Saturday, March 21st. Coleman is the happy big brother.












And here is adorable little Joshua David Childress, born Wednesday, March 18th to Marie & John, with his proud big sister Anna. Can't wait to meet you!
