She is here

Lena Susan arrived a bit unexpectedly on Monday May 19th in the evening after 4.5 hours of labor.  She was 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 19 inches long.  Everyone is doing well and we are rejoicing in the gift of life in our new wee lady.  Lena means "Child of Light" and is also a reference to Mary Magdalene, who was healed by Jesus and brought the good news of His resurrection to the disciples.  Her middle name comes from her paternal grandmother, "Oma" Sue Dieffenbach.





Little Lena is two days old


Emmie is proving to be a loving big sister already!
