Reese Elizabeth Youngblom

I WAS BORN: Jan. 22, 2012, in St. Luke’s hospital in Duluth.

MY PARENTS ARE: Karrianne and Adam Youngblom of Herman­town.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Kathy and Donald Eckstrom of Herman­town; Corky and Judy Rindal of Superior; Julie and Steve Stabe of Duluth; and the late Loren Youngblom.

MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ARE: Kathy Rindal, Margie Laughman, Dusty and Charlie Youngblom and Ronald and Sandy Shaw, all of Duluth, and the late Gerald Rindal, Charles Laughman and Arlon Youngblom.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: Mommy and both of my grandmas love it. It also means “Enthus­iasm.” My middle name is from Auntie Niki and Great-great-grandma Shaw.

PARENTS’ WISH OR ADVICE: You are a true gift from God and we love you so much. We hope you live life to the fullest and achieve everything in life you wish to.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: You came very quickly! You had Daddy pretty nervous. Mommy, Daddy and Grandma Kathy barely made it to the hospital in time for you. You brought tears to all our eyes when you were born — a moment we’ll cherish forever.
