On Friday, January 4, 2008 at 10:03 am, we were truly blessed with the arrival of our newest daughter, Caitlin. It was so amazing to see such a large baby (compared to Mikayla and Delilah) being pulled out of my stomach. In our eyes, she is perfect - well almost - she could be a little softer on the breastfeeding side. :)Caitlin weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz and was 20" long.
Friday was a horrible day as far as weather goes too. There were power outages, flooding, and lots of trees fallen in the streets and on houses. After Caitlin and I got situated after the surgery, Daddy went to go back to the house to pick up Nana, Papa, Mikayla, and Delilah to come see their new sister and granddaughter. The girls were truly ecstatic when they walked in and saw their new little sister.
So you are probably wondering where we got the name Caitlin Jurlean Grace? The meaning of Caitlin is pure. Jurlean is her great-grandmother's name... and Grace goes along with her older sisters' middle names... Hope and Faith.

Hi,
She is Beautiful, of course!! FYI!!! Grace is also Caitlin's great-great grandmother,s name on Deanna's mom's side (Grace Garland Taylor 1901-1998) (Grandma Bennett's mom!)
Enjoy!!
Love, Aunt Dee Dee and Uncle Hugh
She is simply precious! I know it must be strange having a big baby :-) What would the name have been if it was a boy?
Congratulations to all! Caitlin is so beautiful and we're so happy that all is going well. Thanks for the updates on the website--I love to read them.
Happy Birthday to Mikayla and Delilah!
Hope to get all the Bennett cousins together sometime soon for a visit.
Love, Emily, John and Luca Vavalle
