Birthday
Well friends, here's a quick update with a promise for details to follow. We have a baby girl - Ellen Kopaska Broek was born at 1:43 this afternoon, 3 pounds 11 ounces. Her sister Lillian passed away sometime in the last 24 hours (we think) which is what prompted a September 2 birthday for Ellen. We need your prayers for mom and dad and Ellen who has some work to do, but seems to be doing well at this early stage. Jeanine is recovering and about to be brought to a room. She will get to see Ellen tonight, I hope to see her shortly. But like I said...more details to follow.
