Thank-you picture

I'm working hard to get this Thank-you/birth announcement picture out.  If you did not receive a picture from us and you would like one, please let me know.  We have been loved so well in this last year - by so many people, that I may have missed someone.  It may take me awhile to get them all out.  And it is a pretty long list.  So please, do not hesitate to tap me on the shoulder, send a note etc... to ask for one. I am amazed again as I look through all the names.  Thank-you again to the wonderful photographers who gifted such lovely photos to us...

In my mind, I had always thought that I would do a birth/death announcement at once.  I think I kept waiting for that to happen (and I was afraid to have a bunch of birth announcements sitting around if she died suddenly)...but she's almost 8 months!!! Time for a birth announcement, wouldn't you say?  Thank-you so much for your friendship this last year.

It has been a tough day here.  Rachel has been fussy - and she's needed to eat every hour or more.  We didn't have respite last night....but tonight we do! I'm so looking forward to sleeping.  Good-night!
