Meet Miriam Priscilla Radtke


Baby Miriam was due on March 31st.

Mason was born on his due date so we all expected Miriam, as a second baby, to be born AT LEAST by her due date. Not so.

Janelle woke up with labor pains on Sunday morning, April 7th. They went to the hospital around 10 am, but Miriam didn't arrive until early Monday morning, 2:49 am.

Mark sent us all this picture at around 3:15 am.  We were all so relieved and excited!



Stacia (Janelle's mother), Kristen, and I brought Mason to the hospital Monday morning, around 10 am, to meet his new sister.




He was so sweet with her. He wanted us all to sing Happy Birthday to her.

On Tuesday, late afternoon, they came home from the hospital. Stacia, Mason, and I were waiting outside on the front steps. The minute those car doors opened, he jumped in the car to see her.


So...now life begins for the family of four, and like I keep saying to everyone, we are all trying to find our new normal.
