Introducing Elyse Stevey

We are so excited to announce that God has blessed our family with a new addition! Elyse Stevey was welcomed by many on December 16, 2009 and 12:13AM! She weighed 7 lbs. and was 20 inches long. Why are you just now posting this news in March you ask? Because her mommy has just become a blogger. Yes, that's right... after reading friends' posts often enough, I have decided to start a blog of my own. Not for myself, but for Elyse and her future brothers and/or sisters! Here I will share pictures and videos of her little life as she grows! So, being that this is my first post, I thought it only appropriate that I catch you up to speed on the past few months! I hope she brings a smile to your face like she does to mine everyday!
Much love,
Lacey
