GIRL! Evie Fae Butikofer made her arrival on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 2:06 pm. We could not be more excited and pleased that we are now parents to FOUR beautiful daughters.
With all the anticipation and anxiety that I have been going through the last little while I was beyond ready to meet our baby. I had been saying the entire time that I truly hoped we had a girl. Most people tried to tell me that it was a boy and he had been waiting for 12 years to join our family. While I would have been happy to welcome a baby boy, I am OVERJOYED to be the mother of 4 girls. I know many people who have four girls and my grandmother Louise started out with four girls. There is something about girls that I just love! So yes more pink, more hormones, more dancing, and more joy at the Butikofer home!
In case you are wondering about her name, I will offer some explanation. I am very into names that have meaning to both Tim and I. This name evolved from both of our grandmothers'. Eva is Tim's grandmother Burtenshaw's name and also his mom's middle name. Fae is my grandmother McNeil's name. We feel like Evie has spent time with both wonderful woman while waiting to join our family. By giving her a part of these legendary women, it will define who she is and how strong she will be. Her potential is limitless!
Thanks to everyone who called, text, and came to support us. We love you all and can't wait to be back home with all of our daughter's living the good life on Country Lane.
Picture will come soon!!!

Wow....I can't believe it! It seems a little unfair that you get 4 amazing daughters. But you deserve it. You are an amazing mother and they will bring you so much joy. Evie will just be the perfect addition to what you have already made. And I love the name!Can't wait to meet her.xoxoxo Annie
Okay, I guess I will stop wishing for a boy for you. Evie is so beautiful, thanks for letting me come and meet her. Can't wait to see her more, neither can her cousins!
For some reason, I felt all along that this baby was a girl. I wondered all night after I came home, what kind of special parents you and Tim are and what lies in store for you that you are blessed with these beautiful girls. I am sure Grandma Eva and Grandma Fae have spent time with Evie. I am also sure that others spent time with her, preparing her to come to your family. I was so glad the little girls were able to be right there...and heard Evie's first cry! It was a beautiful day with a "Buti"ful family! Thanks for sharing it with me.
Hallelujah!!! The cat is out of the bag....I'm so happy you are so happy that she's a girl...its been a stressful few months for me. I'm so glad I got to see adorable Evie! Can't wait till it happens again.
Love ya and hope you are feeling well!
I could not wait until Addey had dance yesterday so I could see if anyone had any news!! Even though I was kinda hoping you had a boy so our boys could be good friends, I am so excited you have your beautiful GIRLS!! My first girl name that I loved was Evie!! I was going to say it "EV" IE , Not "EVE"... but I do love the name!!! Congratulations!!!
Congrats! I'm glad she's here and everything is good.
Phew! I was a little worried that a boy would change the whole dynamic of Country Lane. I can't wait to meet our new little neighbor! It will have to wait a little while because I know you don't want what we have right now. 1 kid with an ear infection and 1 with an ear infection and pink eye! And they're the ones that stay home with me! Congratulations to the whole family and please call if you need any help! I promise I will sanitize first!!
I am so excited for you! I love girls. . . i just wish I could have one! I love you guys and can't wait to see this beautiful Buti!
