Victoria Elizabeth Roberts was born Thursday, March 3, 2016 at 1:04 PM. She weighed exactly 6 pounds and was 19.25 inches long. She was born by C-section one week early. She has lots of auburn hair. She is our 18th grandchild. She was welcomed by her parents Melody and Brandon and her twin sisters, Kate and Charlotte, age 26 months. The family moved into their new home on February 26, 2016.

The above pictures were the professional ones taken in their new home when Victoria was 10 days old. The following are the candid shots showing real life.
When Charlotte and Kate met their new baby sister for the first time, they were kept securely strapped in the stroller because they love to explore.
Newborn--"Baby Bictoria is so little!"
Victoria signing "I love you" to her mother.
Brandon's parents helped pack the house for the move, helped them move to their new home, and continue to frequently assist which is greatly appreciated.
John and Kathryn came to help on March 9. John stayed for a week and Kathryn stayed until March 25. We took them to the park near their home but usually took them for walks around the neighborhood.
