Keeley Renée
Keeley - Irish "beautiful"
Renée - French "reborn"


(To type the é in her middle name, hold down the Alt key and type 0233 - when you let up the Alt key the é will appear. It's an "acute accent" rather than the "grave" accent that slants the other way... Credit for knowing this little trick goes to Deena who explained it when they had Josée)

Most of you have seen Todd's Facebook announcement, but just in case you hadn't here's the fun news!

We welcomed Keeley Renée into our family at 8:25am, Monday, April 20th. She was 6lbs. 12oz and 20" long.

She and I are doing well. The biggest praise right now (for me) is that she's eating well and has taken to breast feeding... Those of you who know about my experience with Sarah know that this wasn't an easy road the first time, so what a sweet blessing the Lord has given me that Keeley took to it right away!
We're home now and will get used to our family of four... Todd has been amazing throughout this time and I appreciate so much how he has gone above and beyond to "be there" in all that that means....


Sarah REALLY has taken to her big sister role... We are thankful she is such a loving little girl and are amazed at how easily she has taken to Keeley...

Okay, now to get a little sleep while Keeley is!
