MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: It was meant to be!
PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: We're glad you're here. We love you very much and we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives with you.
SOMETHING SPECIAL: It took all week for you to finally come into the world- Monday through Friday Mom was in labor. Dad wouldn't let anyone hold Halie until Mom came back from recovery.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Tom Peterson of Culver; Carol Peterson and Rich Dowd of Cloquet; and Dave and Terri Barnes of Esko.
MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ARE: Raymond and Joyce Peterson, Robert Lamminen and Jack and Dorothy Barnes, all of Cloquet, Dave and Kathy Sarkela and Mable Sarkela, all of Esko.
MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: It's the name Mom and Dad liked, along with one other. In the end, my brother made the final decision.
PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: Believe in yourself! If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Life will not be easy, but we promise it will be worth it.
SOMETHING SPECIAL: It was a race to the finish with your cousin, Halie, who was born 10 days before you. But when you came those 10 days later, you liked like the 10-day-old and Halie looked like the newborn. You were 9 lbs 10 oz- 2 lbs and 2 oz more than your big cousin.
