Our family grew by one more person last night. I'll let Heather share the details with everyone but let me say that little Jaycie Faith is beautiful. Beau and Heather kept the baby's name a secret until birth. Jaycie is a very pretty first name, but when I heard her middle name it brought tears to my eyes. My children are incredible. Let me explain.
Beau and Heather went through a very frustrating time at the beginning of 2008. It was so hard for Beau to find an internship which was so surprising to all of us who knew Beau. I don't know of a more responsible, smart, hard working individual. (My other sons-in-law are his equal in this area.) We thought that everyone should have been fighting over him. Of course at the time, we didn't know that an economic crisis was developing. Anyway, in all of their praying and soul searching about what to do, they kept getting the impression that they should have another baby. They decided to have faith in what the Lord was telling them to do and soon became pregnant. Their story is a long one, but just let me say that many little miracles have happened along the way. Beau just started a great job this week. They were able to move back home and I will never look at little Jaycie Faith without being reminded of the faith of my wonderful daughter and her beautiful family.

She looks so much like Harlee did as a newborn that it's uncanny.....

I was hoping to see pictures! Thank you for sharing the story! I've always loved the name Faith and now it has extra special meaning!
How georgeous. You have such beautiful grand babies. Must be the good genes you passed on. Congrats to your daughter. She will love having 2 girls. I sure do!
She is beautiful! And I think she has almost as much hair as Lola, just not as curly or dark!
I loved the middle name of Faith also. It is such a wonderful gift in my life, and I'll think of it everytime I see Jaycie!
How blessed we are! She is beautiful! Thanks again for the wonderful pictures.
It really is amazing how much they look alike. I am so glad she is here safe and well! And I love her middle name also. It is perfect.
How fun it is to have her here and what a suprise! She is beautiful, and I am also so happy and proud of the both of them for the faith they have had this last year. Great pictures!
Yay! What an inspiring story, I hope she hears it often as she grows up. She and Harlee look like twins, what cuties!
They could be twins! thanks for posting photos of Jaycie...she is beautiful!
