The news you've all been waiting for!.......

Here are the latest pictures of our beautiful baby..... GIRL! Yes, by next March we will have 4 little girls! And I couldn't be happier! Can't you just see all of them playing together in about 4 or 5 years? They are going to have so much fun! And imagine all the finger nails I'll get to paint, clothes they can share, secrets they can laugh about! So exciting to think about!
And now, I proudly introduce you to Elianna Grace, our sweet baby girl ....

It's a girl!




And I thought I'd just give a bit of explanation about her name. It's a combination name from the names Elizabeth and Anna. Therefore, it is pronounced like Ellie Anna. Elizabeth appears several times on both of our family trees. We got it mainly from one of Jeff's great-great grandmothers. Anna is Jeff's grandmother's first name. Grace is taken from Gracy, a last name on Jeff's family tree and a name that Jeff has loved for a while.
Also, when I looked to find the meaning of the name, I found the name Eliana (so we just added the one "n") was a Hebrew name meaning "My God has answered me." Jeff and I prayed and talked about whether or not to have this baby for over a year before we felt like we knew we were on the same page and acting in God's will. So the name is very appropriate and special to us!
