Yes, Hava Dov Rossiter (aka "baby #2") finally arrived on Monday night! It was few days after her official due date -- apparently she was operating on Jewish standard time -- but she was all the more welcome for it. We're back at home now, recovering and adjusting to life as a family of four.
We'll work on getting more pictures together -- lots are on other people's cameras -- but for now here's what we've got (click on photo to link to rest of album):

| Baby Hava! |
A little about her name: Hava is derived from the Hebrew word for "life" (think "L'chayim!") and also lets her carry an "H" in memory of Ruth Ann's father, Hershey. Dov is kind of fun and multi-faceted. It was part of Hershey's Hebrew name (Zvi Dov). In English (think "Dove") it gives her an animal name that echoes her brother's (Jonah Baer). And the parallel works even better in Hebrew, since Dov is in fact the Hebrew word for "bear." And like her brother, Hava carries the Rossiter surname in honor of Matt's family.
