Welcome Emily Grace!

Faralee and Kevin Wilson are pleased to announce the arrival of Emily Grace!

Her grand entrance was on Sunday, July 26 at 4:15 am after a long and difficult labour (28 hours). She weighed in at 9 lbs 2 oz and measured 21.5 inches. Her hair is red and she is fair skinned with light eyelashes and eyebrows. She has super long fingers and feet – she is going to be tall! And she has no problem letting you know when she is hungry or needs a diaper change – she definitely has a set of lungs on her!

Everyone is doing great – growing and learning everyday! Stay tuned for photos in the October Journal!
