Anne Arin Ekins
Anne Arin Ekins has arrived! Jayne labored spontaneously for the first time and, in short order, we've been blessed with a fourth child and second daughter. She was born at 10:47 pm on Wednesday, June 6th at 9 lbs 10 oz measuring 21 1/2 inches. She's got honey hair and a mild disposition. Jayne is recovering well; we we're discharged Friday morning. It's delight to see a new sibling through the eyes of Ellen, James, and Clark. Anne is a family name, had a solid ring to us, and alludes to a legend about purity from the life of Anne of Bretagne. Arin is a female version of the Hebrew "Aaron" which can be interpreted "mountain of strength." As we prepared for the beginning of this new life, the image of a mountain in our old Salt Lake neighborhood with a beautiful granite face came to us over and again. We'll give Anne Arin her baby blessing at Church on the 1st Sunday in September; you're all welcome to attend!

Oh how fun! Congratulations all around. Love her name and live from us to you!
She is beautiful! I can't believe it was spontaneous! How exciting for you. I can't wait to see baby Anne in person. Love the family pictures.
We are so glad that she is here and what a lovely name. I can just hear Great Grandma Smith's appropriate comment: her name is illustrative of the poetic device we term assonance, a repetition of vowel sounds. Perhaps Anne will become an English teacher and love to read! Congratulations to everyone and all the best in the weeks ahead.
Congrats to you all! She is darling! Looking forward to meeting her!
Jayne!!! Congratulations!!! You have the cutest family EVER. I loved the pictures, I swear that while James has obviosly grown up, that face in his pic is EXACTLY how I remember him at 9 months of age. It made me laugh so hard, it's just so him. Ellen is beautiful and looks so much like you. The pic of Clark is priceless, there is nothing like a little baby to explore. :) We miss you guys and are so happy for you!!
