Well Hello There Baby........

GIRL!!!!!

Meet Maisie Dorothea

Maisie was born peacefully at home on Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 7:13pm. She was 8lbs 4ozs and 21 inches long with APGAR scores of 9/9. Mama is doing exceptionally well and so is Maisie, we are so happy to have her here....FINALLY!!!

The meaning of her name is this, like her mama's name Meghan, Maisie, is a derivitive of Margaret which means pearl, child of light. Not only do we love the idea of having Maisie and mama sharing variants of the same name, but pearls have also been thought to promote sincerity, truth and loyalty, all gifts we hope fill her life. Our prayer for this little girl is that she grows to love the Lord is able to go out into the world and be a light to those in need. Ephesians 5:8 (ESV) for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Her middle name Dorothea, is after Meghan's grandmother Dorothea Loretta,
which means divine gift or gift of God. That is just what this sweet baby girl is, a gift from God.

Welcome to the world baby girl, we are so glad you have come!
