Dear Friend,
June was an exciting month! We are honored to announce the birth of our baby girl, Emma Grace, on June 22 at 2:39p. She was 6lbs, 15oz and 19 inches long at birth. She is such a joy to our family; the boys love having a sister. Aidan asks to hold her everyday, and always wants to help change her diaper- he is a pro at getting a clean diaper and wipes and throwing the dirty diaper away. Jonathan is very curious about her, looking into her car seat and laughing or saying “bay-bee.” Thank you for your faithful prayers for our family surrounding Emma’s birth and our adjustment to being a family of five. We feel so blessed by God and sense His abundant grace each day.
We love and appreciate you,
Rich & Merridith
Our Family Aidan (2.5yrs) • Jonathan (14mos) • Emma (born 6/22)
