I just had the pleasure of talking to the new mommy and it was so wonderful to hear her cheerful voice! She is on cloud nine and I can't wait for her to post the birth story! Mom, Dad and sweet Karoline are enjoying a quiet evening in the hospital and all of our prayers were answered! God is good!

Congratulations Foss family!!

Hey everyone!

Michael (the younger) reporting. Karoline was born at 1:36 this afternoon...everyone is healthy. Pictures are on the Real Learning Blog


The pictures are great. Thanks for the updates and peek at the Foss family's new little bundle of joy!

Congratulations, Elizabeth and family! She's just beautiful and I love the name...I'm guessing it's after John Paul II and Therese the Little Flower? The two that sustained you through so much this pregnancy?

Praying for a wonderful babymoon!

I also think there's a little Ma Ingalls' influence in that name selection.

I did not realise the Pope John Paul connection - that is beautiful! It is the month in which the Holy Spirit gave him to us (16th)

I know I would like to remember this wonderful Holy Father in the future naming of my children, it is an eternal honor to him and his pontificate!

Congrats Elizabeth & family!

What wonderful news!

How did you manage to have her on St. Francis' feastday just like you hoped? Maybe it had something to do with some prayers! Thank you St. Francis! All day long I kept thinking, she's having that baby today. How neat!

What a lovely young lady! Welcome, Karoline...you're a true Rose from Heaven.

I think it's so, so wonderful to see the expressions of total joy on the faces of Karoline's older brothers and sisters...if anyone needed a reason to believe that large families are a blessing, they can just click over to Michael's blog and see what the entire Foss family thinks about their latest miracle.

Congratulations, and many prayers,
