Announcing . . .

. . . the arrival of Meredith Grace Koons. Mommy and baby are both doing fine. Daddy is doing OK too . . . still looking for the buttons that popped off his proud shirt. Here are the stats: born at 11:26 p.m. on July 7; 8 lbs. 2 oz.; 20.5 in. long. It all happened very fast. Amy didn't even start having contractions until about 5:00 p.m. last night. We're both very grateful for a great labor and delivery. We're so happy and excited about our new life with little Meredith.




Welcome to the world, Meredith.




8 lbs. 2 oz., 20.5 in. long.




All cleaned up.

Precious little Meredith...
You are a hug from heaven!
A wondorous masterpiece from the Master of love. A little princess of the King of Kings. Such a treasure... you are where our hearts are and always will be!

You have the best family in the universe! And I am blessed to be in it with you.

I love you already and can't wait to cuddle you!

Your Gramma Molly (my big sister) and I are gonna have such fun doin' the granny thing together!

P.S.> You were born on my 26th wedding Anniversary!

P.S.S.>Your Daddy (beaming) signed to Great G'ma Bernice on her birthday (Nov.26th)
pointing to your mama's tiny belly
"Baby". She said that was the best birthday gift she got along with your Auntie Betsy and Unc'Steve flying her around in an airplane that day.

Upon hearing the news of your birth. Your little 3 yr. old cousin Kailoha DeMartino said,
"Now I have lots and lots of cousins... her & him & her & him & her & her & her & her & him & him & him & her & him & him & her & her & her & her & him & him & them & them & her & her!"

YAE!!! CONGRATS all around!! Little Meredith has arrived with great excitement and love as is evident by reading all of these posts. :) 1) I agree with Sara: GREAT name! 2) Agreeing with everyone else: she IS adorable :) and 3)Similar to Aunt Care, she also arrived on my parent's 32nd anniversary. Popular day this kid decided to be born on--already showing great intellect. Your fam won't forget her birthday. ;) Again, congratulations to you!!

Congratulations! She's gorgeous! Looks like a vocalist to me, but we'll see....maybe another pianist :-) We're eagerly waiting for a family photo. :-D
