Welcoming Baby Dean Richard Cottle





Finally, we are excited to welcome "Baby Dean." He was born Sunday September 20 at 9:27 pm weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces and 19 inches long. Labor was relatively enjoyable and a wonderful experience for Jon and I. I am very grateful for modern medicine to say the least, but most grateful that Dean came into this world healthy.

The past few weeks have been crazy and exciting. We wrapped up summer selling with Jon being arrested and spending time in Jail; it's a crazy story you will have to ask him about. So after hearing that I basically "told" him to come home. Since that moment life has been smooth and really enjoyable. We have been enjoying being united together as a family and the girls were soooooo incredibly happy to have daddy home, as was I. Jon and I did yard work hoping to put me in labor, but it didn't work so I was induced on Sunday after attending Stake Conference. It has been a joy having another precious infant in our home and the girls are adorable little mommies.
