Persephone (Effie for short!) came into the world on 4/22/14! She is feisty and chubby and we can’t get enough of her. She was 8lbs 7oz and a whopping 21 inches long, a decent amount bigger than her brother was- explains what she’s been doin’ in there for the past 42 weeks!
She was a little late for Easter, but she she fills out her Easter sweater quite nicely!
She’s quite delightful and her cheeks are super yummy. She’s a great sleeper and really enjoys bonking herself in the face with her fist while trying to eat. Sam is getting fonder and fonder of her, but still a bit unsure of this new little person who is getting a whole lot of attention, but he’s coming around! We’re pretty darn pleased!

She is beautiful. and I agree she looks like her brother. Congratulations.
Sam & Effie–I grew up with the original Sam & Effie and it’s WONDERFUL to have Sam & Effie in the family, again. I cannot express how cool it is. What a BEAUTY she is, too! What a gorgeous family!
Effie is one gorgeous little girl…if you sent the pictures when she was 3 days old, she is indeed an AMAZING baby! Have fun!
She is, indeed, 3 days old in those pictures! She’s a very alert little thing 🙂
Awwww congratulations! She is positively precious! May you bask in the joyful glory of that beloved daughter, and may she continue her sculpting by God’s gracious handiwork into a corner pillar fit for His palace. Amen.
