Welcome Brooklyn Kelly Wheeler!

Brooklyn Kelly Wheeler came into the world September 26th, 2009 at 8:38 in the morning. She came in fiesty and alert and ready to eat. She weighed 5 lbs. 15 oz. and measured 19". Both Brooklyn and Mara are doing extremely well, and Ella and Josh are more excited than ever.

Mara went into labor last night around 7:00 pm. She was extremely hot and had the AC blasted on the lowest possible temperature. The rest of us tried to stay warm even poor little Art.

Here are some pictures of Brooklyn's first few hours, in which she even got to meet "Uncle" Craig already. She also got to spend time with Mimi, Papa, Nina, Ella, Daddy and of course Mommy.

The most excited person out of everyone is Ella. She doesn't understand why we can't bring Brooklyn home yet. But she made us promise that as soon as we get home that we would let her and Brooklyn play together.

We will update everyone very soon with more information and pictures.
