Introducing Elliana Geneme Jayne Baxter

After 26 months long months of being in process and waiting, it is our great honor to introduce you to our daughter,

Elliana Geneme Jayne Baxter 


Elliana:  "The Lord has Responded" 
in Hebrew, it literally means, My God Has Answered Me! 
It also means Sun Ray or Shining Light 
Geneme: "In the morning"
Jayne:  "God is gracious"

(more on her name later)

Shy and Reserved, but coming around!
