A new addition to the Gaggle

It was past time for us to set up a blog and Saturday's growth to our gaggle of girls provided just the motivation. I'll put the executive summary first and come back to post some more details as I have time.


Analiese Sarah Allen was born at 3:43 am on Saturday, April 18, 2009. She was 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 in long. Both mother and baby are doing well.

  2. She is so beautiful! Just like the rest. We are so excited for you. You need one more girl to keep up with the rest of the record holders or you could go for a new record, anyway it falls, you win with a gaggle of girls. In fact the other day I told Whitney she'd probably have a bunch of boys. She looked all sad and said that she hoped not, because it just wouldn't be as fun as a bunch of girls have been.
    We can't wait to see that sweet little baby!
    Love you

  4. How cute! I always love the "sibling hold the baby for the first time" pix. I always think they capture so much emotion. Hope all is going well.

  13. This is Ashley – I commented yesterday after Liz's but it never showed, so I'll try again. I loved seeing all the pictures of your beautiful new family and my beautiful new niece. My favorite picture was at the end, seeing Afton's proud big sister face made me teary-eyed. So fun!
