Sophie Michelle Meloche

Greetings everyone!!

Sophie Michelle Meloche was born on May 1st, 2008 at Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina, Minnesota. She was born at 2:17 pm, weighed in at 6 lbs 14 onces, and measured 18.25 inches. Quite the little bundle of joy.

We'd like to share with you a few pictures that highlight this memorable experience.

Hi Eric and Mel,

I'm not sure if my message will go threw the internet filter. But if it does. Hope to see the family this summer for Cheers and BBQ.
