Welcome to the Family Eden!

Eden Olivia Swain was born at 6:45am this morning August 3, 2006 in Santiago de Compostela. She weighs 3.675 Kg (8.1 lbs.) and one of the nurses affectionately called her “gordita” (little fat one) all morning. We chose Eden because it reminds us of the way things in life “should be”. Olivia means “peace”. Lori labored at home a little and then we made our way to the hospital around 5:30 am. Once we were at the hospital everything happened very quickly. The doctor said Lori was a veteran and that he hardly needed to be there. Both Eden and Lori are doing well! Thank you all for your prayers.
