Special Guest Baby Announcement... Our New Niece, Elise!

We're proud to announce that Kyle's sister Katie had her baby girl - Elise Kathyrn - 7 pounds, 12 ounces... 20 1/4" long... at 4:09 this afternoon in St. Louis. Mom & daughter are doing great! We talked to Kate tonight and heard Elise "talking" in the background already. Congratulations Kate, Nick & Janie! (Guest Baby Picture coming soon, I hope!)

Grandma will be able to spend a week with Elise & Kate before heading up to Chicago next Wednesday to stay with Preston while we're gone. Kate's due date had been next Tuesday, so we are so happy that Grandma gets a couple extra days in St. L with those two before heading up here. What a time for Grandma & Grandpa B - becoming grandparents twice in the space of about 2 weeks!
