Alaina Hope arrives!
Alaina (pronounced uh-lay-na) - bright, shining and brilliant.
Hope - to confide in, to trust in with a confident expectation of good. (Webster's 1828)
Now may the God of all hope fill you with joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in (or shine with) hope through the power of the Holy Spirit - Romans 15:13
It is our prayer that Alaina will be someone who shines with the hope of God's goodness!
We love you our sweet Baby Girl! Welcome to the family.

"Behold, children are a heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:3-5
Thinking of you, Leslie and Family

She is too cute! I just love her little chubby cheeks and dark hair!
What a little cutie pie! Nice rosy cheeks and the perfect amount of hair.
Of course now the "who does she look like" game begins and five people will tell you five different things. But..my first thought was that she looks like Haley??
Celene asked me if she could hold Alaina ;)
Aliza
