Meet Miss Ella Catherine Edison
Our sweet baby girl joined our family on November 23, 2010. She weighed 7 lbs and was 20 1/4 inches long. At just 4 days late and a 3 1/2 hour labor, she had the best arrival of the four kids.
She has a great personality - very easy-going and happy. She is also very tolerant of her siblings and their multitude of affections that they shower upon her at any and every opportunity.
She was grinning at Daddy here, but I couldn't quite capture it in time.
What a crew!
We have loved every minute with her, and are so thankful for the gift of new life that God has blessed us with. It is so special to have a new baby at Christmastime as a visible reminder of the gift of Jesus, who came to save us from our sins so we can have eternal life. This year that reminder was even more poignant, as heaven has been on my mind so much this year. Just as we are blessed with Ella's new life here on earth with us, we are thankful that we have the promise of eternal new life so we can be blessed with a heavenly reunion with Dad someday.
Wow, Emily!! I didn't even know you were expecting! Ella is beautiful! Congratulations to you and Michael!
