Welcome, Emily Anne!

One week ago on February 6th at 10:34am our family welcomed Emily Anne Gililland!  Emily was 7lbs 7oz and 18.5 inches at birth and perfectly healthy.  We are all in love with her and are continually thankful to our great God for Emily's precious life.

We chose Emily's name because her first name means "industrious, to strive or excel" and our hope and prayer is that Emily will use her life mightily for the Lord and to strive to make His name famous.  Her middle name means "gracious, merciful" and we pray that she would exhibit these qualities in her life so that others will see Christ through her.

Let the constant picture-taking begin!
