Here she is, the newest member of the Broek family in all her glory. There are a few pictures I've kept out of public sight for fear of DYFS coming after me. They involve a little too much nudity. Without further ado...
Good morning, sweet Ellen - and welcome to the world. May God surround you with perfect peace as you get used to your new surroundings. May your mommy and daddy's voices and touches bring you comfort. May you continue to grow and develop in all the right ways. You and your sister are loved and watched over and kept by God - in different ways - but completely and fully.
We are praying for you and rejoicing with you in the birth of baby Ellen. May she continue to grow and be able to come home soon to Mommy and Daddy. Love, Calvin, Sharon, Daniel, & Leah
What a BEAUTIFUL BABY! Congradulation Greg and Jeanine .We are praying that she will contiune to go stronger each day, and God will give you peace and comfort in the loss of the DEAR little sister she had. Love to all your family Friends from Iowa Marv and Mary Lou
That tension between joy and grief can be so intense. My prayers are with you as you experience both. Congratulations on the gift of beautiful Ellen. Julanna

I don't know if we'll ever be able to understand this...but through it all, we know without a doubt that God is Good.
Ellen is beautiful and she is blessed to have a mommy and daddy who love her so much. And Lillian was blessed to have passed from life in her mommy's womb-straight to the loving arms of her Heavenly father.
Praying for you, rejoicing with you, grieving with you...Love, Holli
Jeanine & Craig, Congratulations on beautiful Ellen! May she grow bigger and stronger each day and come home soon. I hope and pray that you feel God's presence with you in the joy and the sorrow of the days ahead. You can do all things in Him - including this awful thing of saying "goodbye for now" to Lillian. Jeanine take care of yourself as you heal from the delivery so that you will be prepared for Ellen's joyful homecoming.
Craig and Jeanine - she's absolutely beautiful!! A precious miracle from God's loving hand!
