IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

Luke & Lacey delivered a precious girl today, Monday, October 8, 2007, at 12:16 p.m. (Michigan time). Her name is Ava Joy. She weighted 10# 1 oz., and is 22.5 inches long. She is gorgeous!

Caleb just loved seeing his momma.

Grace couldn't wait to hold Ava Joy! Even if she cried.

Caleb even wanted to hold her. He was so amazed at her!

Now it is my turn. Caleb almost took a nap with mommy.

Papa had a turn too.

Now Elyse has a "new" friend to bug. Hopefully, she will let Caleb have a rest.

Grace & Lacey looking at all the pictures Grace took - which were many.


Now for the funny comments in the van:

Grace: Gwam-maw (me, not listening, so she said it louder), GWAM-MAW!

Me: Yes, Grace.

Grace: God made that beautiful sky!


When the CD was playing children's praise music, the song "Jesus Loves Me" came on. Grace said that was her favorite song. Every time the song said, "the Bible tells me so," Caleb would say "DOE."

When Tim & I were talking in the front seat, Grace said, "Gwam-maw, I am singing." I guess that meant we were to shut up.

Now it is bed time for the grand kids and our kids. After L & L get off the phone with the kids, we will put them to bed.

Congratulations to the Luke Rumley family! She is gor-ge-mous!
