Welcome Alaina Claire...

Alaina Claire, long awaited baby sister of Jake and Will, arrived this morning at 7:49 am. In the words of her proud Daddy, "She's here and she's perfect". Those are always the words we want to hear first.

She weighed 7 pounds 15.5 ounces and measured 19 inches in length. In true Spence form, she has a head full of dark hair (perfect for little bows I'm sure).

For those of you who do not know Rachel, she is one of my very best friends from high school. We've been friends for 14 years and I know we'll be friends at least 114 more. She is just a fixture in my life. James is her wonderful husband whom we adore as well.

Guys--we could not be happier for you to join the world of pink. We are so sorry we can't be there with you today. The Womble germs are keeping us away and we do not want to share the wealth with any of the Spence 5. Once the germs are outta here we'll be on our way to meet the new baby sister. Love you all...

Thank you Lord for an uncomplicated surgery for Rachel and a HEALTHY baby girl for their family. What a blessing she will be to all of us.
