Anna Belle Meredith

Anna Belle Meredith was born July 29, 2005! She weighed 5 lbs 11 oz and was 19 inches long! Anna was the prettiest and most petite little baby! Russ and I just couldn't believe the little miracle that she was to our new family and were in awe of the power we had to create such a perfect baby...and we felt an enormous responsibility to care for Anna for we knew she came from our Heavenly Father.

These choice little spirits that are sent to our homes are priceless and nothing is more important than to raise our children within homes where there is love, respect, patience,values, integrity....where mothers are there to nurture and teach, and fathers are there to inspire, guide and direct...

President Gordon B. Hinckley has said, "The strength of the nations lies in the homes of the people. God is the designer of the family. He intended that the greatest of happiness, the most satisfying aspects of life, the deepest joys should come in our associations together and our concerns one for another as fathers and mothers and children" (Ensign, May 1991, 74).
