Charlotte,Charlie for short,made her miraculous entry into this world at 1:56 pm weighing 7 lbs 1 oz and measuring 20 inches.She arrived quickly.Very.Almost missed it.Caitlin had her water broken at 9am and went from 3 1/2 cm to 9 cm in a mere 2 1/2 hours.We arrived at 12:45,Caitlin began pushing at 1:20 and that was that.I was blessed to be in there.As was Danny's mom.What an incredible experience to be there at the birth of your grandchild.Indescribable.Caitlin and Danny did an amazing job.As if they were seasoned veterans.Very emotional and very moving.So that is that.Except not really.From here, a new chapter.A new life.A new beginning for the Needham/McAuliffe families.Thank you for all of your love and support and prayers.Thank you for continuing on with us on this next magnificent leg of our journey.More pictures to follow,soon!

CONGRATULATIONS! As "self appointed spokesperson from Otisco Lake" - we are all so very happy for you Mark and Heather (the newest grandparents this year) and of course for Caitlin and Danny. What a joy and a blessing..... Auntie Jess - I agree, Mimi needs to be in some of the pics (suggestion, get a nurse to take a pic and get ALL the family in one, I'm sure GREAT GRANDMA & GREAT GRANDPA would like to see that.) Mark, haven't seen your dad yet, but your mom was just beaming from ear to ear when she came over to tell us - very excited and so happy. Again, congratulations to all from Otisco Lake..such a blessed day (especially to see Zoey Grace there, too).
