Waiting on God: A new addition.

A new addition.

On August 31, we welcomed a new little one into our family.

Danielle Elizabeth was born right around lunch time to Tygh's youngest sister and her husband. It is their first child.

Danielle (Dani for short) is named in honor of Tygh (his middle name is Daniel), and Tygh's middle sister, whose middle name is Elizabeth.

Danielle is now the 4th grandchild for the Colton clan, and now Sienna has a girl playmate to join her brother and cousin brother. Dani and Sienna are just over 14 months apart. Sienna is already playing the role of doting older sister cousin.

And Brae has officially "blessed" the new grandchild, being that he is the Godfather of the Grandchildren.

I thought you had gotten a puppy. Cousins are much better, especially ones in pink hats. Congratulations!
