Welcome Olivia Ruth!

FINALLY...another member of the Banks Family! Mother's Day ended with all of us heading down to the hospital to wait with Brad & Kristin for the arrival of their daughter. We were all a little bleary-eyed by 5:30 in the morning but hearing that first cry outside the door was worth it all! Joshua has waited 7 years to have a cousin on this side of the family and he was smitten with Olivia when he came to visit later. He just can't stop giggling over her! Today he read her the first chapter of 'Frog and Toad Are Friends' and wants to tell her about Jesus soon. He's hoping she will want Jesus in her heart when she's about 2.

We already love you, Olivia Ruth. Welcome to a big-hearted family!

Is she a big baby or is it just the angle of the camera? Joshua looks very proud to be a cousin. Congratulations Joshua! (And to the proud parents and aunt and uncle as well).
