Introducing:

Ava Maelee Linn Lippert
Born Thursday, September 23rd at 6:49pm
7lbs, 5.6ozs and 19 inches of little girl.

Our adorable new niece.


This one was sent via cell phone shortly after birth.

A very proud big sister holding her little sister for the first time.

More photos to come! Baby and mom were able to go home on Saturday and they are doing well. Thanks for praying for Ava's safe arrival. We all breathed a big sigh of relief and thanksgiving when we heard the news. And of course, we are humbled by our new niece's beautiful middle name. We wish more than anything that Maelee was here to grow up with her cousin... but we are thankful she'll always be remembered in Ava's name.

I LOVE that your sister was able to honor Maelee with her name. That is fantastic! That brought a tear to my eye.

A beautiful name. You have some very cute nieces!

Looks strange to me to see a baby picture already dressed in fleece.
