Happy Birthday!

After a long night of labor and a long morning of pushing, Nicole gave birth at 11:15am here in Chicago. We have a healthy, beautiful, 8lb 150z baby girl (who is a shade of purple and has a cone head, but cute nonetheless). Welcome to the world Evangeline Marie Gustafson Kennedy!

We're exhausted right now, but sometime soon we'll post pictures here and at her own website: www.eviemarie.com. Evie is my new favorite baby, Nicole is my new favorite super hero.

Hey Nicole,

Adrienne told us of your delivery of your beautiful little girl. We love the name! I'm sure she will enjoy playing with our Elliot and Clara when you come over to play Scattergories! Take care, get lots of sleep, and drink some hot chocolate!

As Grandpa and Grandma Kennedy said, we also can't
wait to meet our sweet little, Evie Marie. We were quite surprised at the weight, and thankful that you
were able to deliver normally, Nicole. You are a trooper, and very proud of you doing it without pain
meds. I bet Matt is one proud Daddy also. Cannot wait to see pics. Hope you both are able to get some rest.

Love, Grandpa and Grandma G

Just saw the pics at www.eviemarie.com. We are thrilled to say the least. Gayle and I have kept the phones busy. We'll never forget November 12-17, 2007. Gonna have a hard time waiting for our first face to face meeting with Evie Marie next Saturday. As Lydia already noted, 'God is Good'!
