Surrounded by pink...

We joyfully welcomed Carrigan Grace Ward into the world today at 1:58 am. She weighed 7 lbs, 2 oz and is 19 inches long. Her labor and delivery were about as perfect as we could have hoped and she is a delightfully content little girl. Both grandmas were there to meet her shortly after her birth and her big sisters gave their approval later this morning. We are all doing well, although Jonathan is already concerned about paying for all the future weddings.

Pictures and more updates to follow. Thank you all for your kind thoughts, support, and prayers.

We are so very happy for you! We are also sad we are not there to meet your wonderful gift from God. I'm sure she will be as sweet as Brinn and Mali. We will keep you in our prayers.
Love always,
