Lucky Eight

With hearts full of gratitude, Carianne and I are overjoyed to announce the arrival Kate Annette Crandell. Kate was born on November 8, 2008, at 10:08 p.m., weighing in at 8 lbs, 8 oz (and yes, Kate rhymes with eight). Kate shares her middle name with her Great Grandma Buehner. As you can see, Kate is absolutely gorgeous. We are so thankful for the blessing she is in our life. We love her more than words can express.

Steven said this regarding her head: "I don't think Davinci could draw a more perfect circle." Yes her head is perfectly semetrical. She is so cute. I think she looks like Carriane.
