Monroe B Julliet Gelineau new arrival

Monroe B Julliet Gelineau

I WAS BORN: Aug. 19, 2012, in Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Medical Center in Duluth.

MY PARENTS ARE: Keely and Lee Gelineau of Proctor.

MY BROTHERS ARE: D’Angelo, 9, and Drayce, 4.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Claudia and Owen Christensen and Tom and Teresa Gelineau, all of Duluth, and Joan Gelineau of Two Har­bors.

MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER IS: Bea Fjeran of Two Harbors.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: After stressing over names I gave up and asked in prayer what your name was. I received “Monroe” and at first I was like “Really??” but the next day I began seeing it everywhere. Then, to my surprise I found out it was Marilyn Monroe’s birthday! I took that as a confirmation and I have fallen in love with the name. “B” is after Great-grandma Bea, and “Julliet” is in honor of Great-grandma June Julliet.

PARENTS’ WISH OR ADVICE: True happiness is found in growing up true to yourself.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: After two blonde and bald big brothers, you surprised us with a full head of thick, black hair!
