Introducing...

We are thrilled to introduce you to our daughter, Juliana Kent.

She is named Juliana in honor of Bill's father, Julius.  Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, through the years Bill has told me so much about him.  All his stories reflect his Dad's warm, kind and loving nature.  Julius was a patient father, who listened to his children, all the while having fun.  We pray that the memory of Julius will live in his precious granddaughter and that she will possess his beautiful attributes.
Her middle name is after my mother, Kent.  Yes, her name is Kent.  My mother is named after her great grandmother's maiden name.  So Juliana is also named after her great great great grandmother.  I am blessed to have a mom who truly shows me, and all of her family, unconditional love.  When she met Bill, she loved him as much as her own.  She is thoughtful and generous.  I am blessed to have a beautiful relationship with her.  When Bill and I started this journey, he gave me a bracelet that says "Mothers and daughters share an everlasting bond".  I have worn it everyday of our trip.  That is my prayer for our sweet girl.  That we will have our own special relationship.
