Leighton Lucinda

Little Leighton Lucinda was welcomed by her family at 8:43 pm on January 19, 2010! She weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and 20 inches long. We are so happy to finally meet her and know what an incredible daughter she will be. She must belong to us, she is a little stamp of all our other children. Mostly, we think she looks like Garrett. She must have know how to win his heart over even if she is a girl. We are truly grateful she is healthy and safely here at last. I have no doubt but what a loving Heavenly Father knew what he was doing by entrusting her care to us. It was a little difficult to accept that we were having another baby, but we are so grateful now to have her here. She is a beautiful blessing beyond measure!

This is the first time that the kids have all met their little sibling so soon after birth. Little Leighton is less that one hour old in this photo.

I think Grandpa Finch's face says it all - he is one pleased Grandparent!
