At Last! Pictures!!!










Introducing.....

Ava Faith!

We've taken so many pictures, but here are just a few that we can post tonight! We're posting from the lactation room here at the hospital amdist a flurry of activity and visitors and phone calls! I promise I'll post more when I'm thinking more clearly! It's been one crazy day here at Southern Regional. Let's just say Ava has had a BIG day! More details to come once we've left the hospital. We're hoping to leave tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. It's mostly legal logistics from here.

Thank you, everyone, for loving us and for standing in the gap with us. We love you.

Emily and Ben,
She is beautiful! Judy called me today, and I was so happy to hear that she was born on Ruthie's birthday. She will be a strong and precious girl just like her grandmother, great grandmother, and mom. We rejoice with you and cannot wait to see her with you both in person. Your steadfastness and strenghth are such a strong witness and inspiration.

We love you,
Jennifer and Mitch
