Every family has problems and challenges. But successful families try to work together toward solutions instead of resorting to criticism and contention. They pray for each other, discuss, and give encouragement. Ezra Taft Benson

Announcing Hannah Ray Foister

Hannah was born Friday, August 27, at 6:54 p.m. weighing 8 lbs 11 ounces. That makes Hannah the heaviest of all the children at birth. She has quite a bit of black hair.

We are so grateful she arrived healthy and safe. Shortly before the birth, Anna had received a blessing promising her that angels would be present to assist. I asked her afterward if she had felt their presence, and she said yes.

Here is the whole gang. Our new family!


Mother and daughter.


Maryann is so excited to have a little sister. We have to keep a close eye on how loving she is.


This was the children's first time to meet their new sister. Look at her hair.

In the hospital and everything! Congratulations! I'm glad you named her Hannah. I wanted that name but Earl's sister got it and in his family there is no doubling up on names. Of course, there are only 15 others to compete with. :) I hope she is a good baby for you! Lot of love and prayers sent your way.
