I don’t have much time to write, but I wanted to let everyone know that Emma and I had our baby girl!
Evelyn Cassandra Prete was born on Friday, October 5th at 12:26 PM. She weighed 7 pounds and 7.4 ounces and was 20.25 inches long. She has a full head of brown hair, just like I had when I was born. Thankfully, the delivery involved no complications. Both Emma and Evelyn are doing well.
Emma and I like the names Evelyn and Cassandra very much. Additionally, both names have significance in our respective families:
My maternal grandmother is Jean Evelyn Taylor. Although she died in a farming accident when I was young, she lived long enough to make me a patchwork quilt, which I cherished for several years. I also believe my mother inherited her charitable disposition from her mother, Jean Evelyn Taylor.
Emma’s mother is Cassandra Barrett. Although Emma is a self-made person in several respects, many of the things I love most about her were inherited from her mother, Cassandra. Finally, Emma and her mom have always been close, and our new baby is Cassandra Barrett’s first grandchild.
In case you’re interested, I posted a few pictures below. I am sure we’ll post more pictures later, but these will have to do for now.

I heard you had your baby and had to take a peek. You all look happy and very healthy. Congratulations, the first six weeks are brutal with no sleep and trying to recoup, but it get easier and more wonderful each day.
She really is so so beautiful! I'm so glad that Mom & baby are doing well. She was so sweet all bundled in her crib, Brad can't stop talking about her either and how tiny she is! :) Congratulations you guys!
