Welcome, Josie Francine

We are pleased to announce that we have been blessed with another beautiful neice. Josie Francine was born to my sister and brother-in-law last Friday morning at 6:33am. Josie weighed in at 10 lbs, 6 oz and measured 21 inches long. Her first name comes from a combination of great grandmas and great great grandmas...Josephine and Frances. She also shares a birthday with her oldest cousin on the Betterman side as well as my mom's mom. Ellie is a very proud big sister who doesn't take her job lightly. Gavin is infatuated with "Baby Jose" and is so gentle and sweet to her.

I prayed and prayed for a safe delivery and a healthy baby for my sister for months. When Ellie was born, she was whisked away by helicopter and was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect hours later. Angie wasn't able to see her or hold her until she was discharged from the hospital the next afteroon. It was a whirlwind! My prayers were answered and our family is feeling very blessed with this precious new addition. We love you Miss Josie!
