She's here. Today we celebrate the arrival of not only our fourth child but our first daughter. This pregnancy has been dramatically different from the previous three. We were presented with new challenges and experiences that took us beyond what we knew, and we all made it through. From more severe morning sicknesses to three attempts at delivery, our blessed new arrival is worth every minute.

I'd like to sincerely thank all that have made this wonderful experience possible. Particularly my mother-in-law who has been by Kristen's side for the past few weeks. She came to visit us so that she might learn the ropes of taking care of our wonderful boys. While no easy task, she has met the challenge with love and kindness only a grandmother could hope to possess.

We've been lifted up by the congratulations and well wishes that have been received today, from facebook congrats to a beautiful bouquet of flowers. So in short, we say thanks and God bless.
