a family of four

 

On Thursday, April 4, Mabel Violet Thatcher

arrived.  She surprised us by arriving 15 days before her due date.  She weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces (4 ounces more than her big brother!) and was 17.5 inches long.  In the operating room and among the nurses over the next three days she fittingly earned the nickname "Peanut."  

We have waited so long to have little Maeby here with us and to hold and kiss her.  We are overjoyed that she is finally here, safe and sound.
