: Betty's daughter in law gave birth to Alexa Haven Dare at 3 PM today.

Congratulations Betty and Bill!!
It's turning out to be a good year for babies, huh?!!!
She does have a beautiful name, and what a great last name, "DARE", the last name of the first child born in the American colonies! Since Virginia Dare was part of the Lost Colony, I don't suppose one could make a connection, but a neat thought!
Enjoy your new addition,
Diana
