WELCOME FLORA SUSAN!

Wee Flora Susan arrived on November 28 to our surprise ahead of her scheduled December 3 delivery. Labor began around 1:00am, water broke around 3:00am, and cousin Sue came to the rescue around 4:00am to begin caring for Nickolas and Lucy for the next several days. Flora was born at 8:03am weighing 5 lbs 8 ozs and measuring 18 inches - a true wee one. She's been a great baby and all of the nurses loved her in the hospital. She was also born, like Nickolas and Lucy, with a classic head of hair.

Flora Susan is named for the many Floras on Dan's Scottish side of the family. Aunt Flora in Dunoon Scotland and Cousin wee Flora in South Africa are the loveliest of them. Flora is also the name of Dan's grandmother and great-grandmother. Dan is the first (and possibly the last) to name a Flora in this generation. Susan, is Aimee's cousin and Lucy's Godmother who Nickolas and Lucy affectionately call Aunt Sue.
