She's here!! We are so glad to share the arrival of our second daughter, Margery Frances. She was born at 8:11 a.m. on Thursday, July 31, 2014. She weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.

| Sweet sleeping baby. |
Greg and I chose the name Margery almost 10 years ago when we were first thinking about names that sounded good with our last name. Margery (is a form of Margaret) means Pearl, and Frances is Mimi's middle name and the name of her maternal grandmother's oldest sister and maternal great grandmother.

Margery does not have a nick name as of yet, but we like "M" for now. Neat fact: She shares a birthday with author J.K. Rowling and Rowling's token character, Harry Potter. Here are some photos from our first week with Margery. She also shares a birth month with her Grandmother Carri.

Evangeline is adjusting to sisterhood. Although she does not understand why Margery will not talk to her and sleeps so much. Evangeline loves to gives her kisses and hold her.

We are so thankful to Grandpa Will and Grandma Carri for coming to help us right after Margery was born. They spent many hours keeping Evangeline busy and taking turns baby holding, as well as cleaned the house and cooked for us. We are still reaping the benefits of their visit.

In addition, Aunt Edge recently moved to Columbia and has been an great help. She is also great at holding the baby and has spend a lot of time with Evangeline while Greg and I deal with sleep deprivation.

Margery loves to sleep, in fact Greg and I have to wake her up every 3 hours to get her to eat. She's also a big smiler in her sleep, and makes the cutest baby sounds.

We've already introduced her to singing and dancing, as well as breakfast. Three Perreault family staples. More to come as she continues to grow and develop!
