“She has lots of dark brown hair,” said Shawn, a few hours after Kensie’s arrival.

Kensie’s name is an original in both the mother’s and father’s families, but her middle name honors a beloved relative of Angelique’s in Norway.

The Peretzmans received a gift basket filled with Evergreen Hospital Medical Center logo items and baby items donated by the Evergreen gift shop.
