There is a new Ellie

This morning Ellie's and my daughter, Alida, gave birth to a healthy baby girl at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Eleanor Marion Butler weighing 7lb. was born at 5:55am to Alida and Jeff Butler. She is a sister to big brother Logan who is 21 months old. Mother and daughter are doing well. She will be called Ellie after her Oma. The name Marion is from Jeff's grandma.

This event is definitely worth posting. I get to see and hold her this afternoon after Logan gets his first look at his baby sister. God is good.
Fanny called this morning to congratulate me and let me know that the new Ellie has a 2nd cousin just 12 hours older then she. Madelene (sp?) Geleynse was born around 6pm yesterday in Hamilton, a daughter to Steve and Jen Geleynse and sister to Jack and Luke. Congratulations.
