What a little sweetie. We are so very happy for all three of you! Violet is lucky to have found such wonderful, loving parents as we know you will be. Can't wait to see her in July.

Great Aunt (I'm way too young for that) Jeanne
Yah who!!!!!!Yippee!!!!!!What a tearful experience that was watching
ReplyDeletethat video!!!!!!!! What a commitment! I supposed it's the same for
people DECIDING to have a child as opposed to people like me who just
kept getting pregnant. Wow! you all just stuck a pin in the globe and
said "We will take THIS child to love and cherish from this day
foreword till death do us part, Amen!"
What a wonderful world we live in and what wonderful folks you all
are. Congratulations! to you ALL! Love xoharriet
