She is so lucky to come to you guys. You are going to be great parents to her. Tell Jacob and Benji we can't wait to meet their little sister!!!

Mary and Doug

First I'm trembling with excitement and charging for the phone,every time it rings, trampling the poor man who's working on the house, then crying all through Safeway and all the way home after Norah's call Thinking of your grief was beyond awful and I wanted to shake that woman in St Louis till her teeth rattled. After crying some more I pulled myself together to go to the meeting, but felt so low and awful. Then I came home to your call and now I'm seeing her wonderful face. What a day!! This day has been a microcosm of what your life has been like for 31/2 years. However have you held up?? I'll see you Sat. morning when I come down.( 36 hours from now) I need to hug you and hold you for awhile my dear Miss Mary, my wonderful daughter. Love, Mom

YAAAAAAYYYYYY! What a wonderful reward for all those YEARS of waiting. She's gorgeous, even in that fuzzy picture, and I'm sure will be thoughtful and smart as all get-out too. One thing is for certain: she will have the most loving family ever!!!

Congrats!
Cecilia
