Congratulations! I've been waiting nearly as impatiently as you for this baby of yours. All the wait was worth it, eh? It always is, isn't it?

God bless you all. Wish I could bring you a covered dish or do ... I don't know ... something to help ease your first weeks at home.

I can't begin to tell you how much your prayers have meant to me and to my family. It's been a journey to joy and you have all been such faithful companions. Thank you, thank you. I'll be back later with a bit of the birth story, but for now, I wanted you to see how good it is to be home with our pink bundle. There's a slide show here.

That was absolutely wonderful. Kate and I watched it together. (I sung along...with Neil. )

It was fun to see that other children do "signs" too! I have my sign girl who does one for every occasion! Beautiful---

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am so happy for you! The slide show was beautiful.
(What I saw of it, anyway. I have dial-up and was able to view 5 seconds of it every 2 minutes! I did finally give up after about half an hour. )

I am a little slow though. I didn't make the connection with the song being played until I heard the words "Sweet Karoline". LOL! What a great idea!!

Thanks for sharing with us!

Why can't I view the slide show? I clicked on the link and it just says, "She's home! Grab a hankie and share our joy!" No pics, no video link...help me out, I'm dying to see more of this baby!

Thank you! She's beautiful, you're beautiful, your family is beautiful! My kids and I watched the slideshow together...my Mary Beth said, "They've got 8 kids?! They're LUCKY!!"


Of course, I would say "blessed"! Congratulations!
