Juliet Lynne Dieleman was born to Michelle and Dan on Tuesday, April 15
at 9:13 a.m. She weighed in at 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long.
She is a sweet, precious gift to our family from God and we thank Him and praise
Him for her. Her big brothers Chase and Drew, and big sister Joy are delighted
with their new baby and love taking turns holding her.
The timing of her birth was perfect as I had planned a short trip to DC to visit
my granddaughter Stella for Grandparent's Day at her school that weekend.
Juliet was born on her brother Drew's 6th birthday and he was so proud!
