johanna

my brother and sister-in-law/oneofmybestfriends welcomed their baby girl, johanna rae, into the world at 10:16 am on july 8th. she weighed 6.5 lbs and was 20 inches long. they are the most loving and amazing parents already. not a big surprise since they have been the most special aunt and uncle to max. josh and sarah have been waiting for this baby for many years. she is going to be the most loved, hugged, kissed, spoiled (in the best way), and well-dressed little girl there ever was. we are all so in love with her. she is perfect. she is the luckiest little girl in the world to have the mom and dad that she has. johanna has completed josh and sarah. it has been a long and heartbreaking journey to get to this happy ending but i know it was all worth it to them if it meant it led them to her. we love you johanna rae, forever!
