Ruth Ann Acheson is proud to announce the arrival
of her baby sister Mary Kate
on Sunday, August 30, 2009 at 7:43 p.m.
Mary Kate weighed in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces
and measured 20 inches long.
Ruth reports that everyone is doing well—just a little low on sleep. Ruth is very excited to be a big sister. Mary Kate wants to eat all the time, but Ruth has a brand new baby doll from her grandpas that she gets to take care of while Mommy is feeding Mary Kate. Ruth Ann is a big helper, but is glad that lots of family came to visit and help out, too—especially since her daddy and grandpa are building a new bedroom for her and Mary Kate! Ruth and Kate’s mommy and daddy thank everyone for their prayers.

Oh, Gretchen and Merritt, we are so happy for you! What a beautiful little girl. Now daddy has two little girls to brighten his days, right?
I also like the name you chose—Mary. I love good, old-fashioned, biblical names, which incidentally, aren’t used much anymore. God bless you as you embark on the days ahead with two children!
How exciting!!!
Congratulations! Your babies are so adorable and I love the name Mary Kate! God bless y’all!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Oh, she is so cute!!! How blessed you are to have two beautiful, healthy daughters! And Ruth Ann and Mary Kate are so blessed to have each other as sisters!
This must be a double co-incidence or something like that! Ruth Ann was born on mom’s birthday and now Mary Kate arrived on my sister’s birthday. Perhaps, baby no 3. will be born on my birthday, lol!
Double Congratulations, Gretchen and Merritt!
I am so happy for you, Gretchen, Merritt, and Ruth Ann! I know Mary Kate has been born into a loving home. Praise God!

She is beautiful and what a lovely addition to your family. The more you add girls to your family, the more God’s Love will become apparent. Of Course Denny wants to know where
the boys are? {plenty of time for boys. Congrats to all, especially Ruthie. I bet she can
hardly wait to bring here to Church and show her off. In His Rest. “C”
