:: New Life ::

Our dear friends, Christian and Ashley Negard welcomed their first child into the world yesterday.  After a long trial, they were blessed with a relatively smooth pregnancy.  Forty weeks and two days later, they were blessed with a BEAUTIFUL baby girl!  Ashley is amazing and did a fantastic job bringing her into the world.  Meet the one, the only...

 Annike (pronounced Annika) May Negard  

5 lbs. 12 ozs. 

19 1/4 inches

Born September 19, 2008 at 4:08 a.m.

She is dainty, precious, alert, tiny, beautiful, and such a blessing, not only to Christian and Ashley, but to those of us who already love her more than words!  This little baby is evidence of God's graciousness and perfect creation!  Meeting Annike made me even more excited to meet Jameson!  (Four and a half weeks left if he is on time).  I had a hard time picking the pics to post.  She was just 13 hours old in these pictures!

Congratulations Christian and Ashley!
