Dear friends:
We are very happy to announce the birth of our fourth daughter, Faith Elizabeth Reese, on May 19, 2008. She weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces, was 19 3/4 inches long, and was the first of our Reese children to arrive punctually (over one week before her due date!). We hope this is a sign of good things to come! Not only has she been considerate in her arrival time, but she’s a very healthy, easy baby so far, and we are thankful to our Father for answering all of your prayers. I am doing great, too, and the big sisters are beside themselves with excitement. Rochelle asks me almost every day “Am I a big sister to the baby?” With three big sisters to look after her, I suppose she’ll be very well taken care of. The other day I heard her cry on the monitor, and before I could do anything about it, I heard a chorus of three very loud big sisters having a “lullabye” competition to soothe her back to sleep.
Here are a couple of photos.
