So happy for you both! Girls truly are a joy to have. And they help keep the boys in line...including daddy when he's acting like one of the boys! Congratulations Josh. Love the name and the spelling too. Christine...you're a trooper for letting Josh take photos of you during labor. Thanks for sharing. You looked beautiful.
