Hi, Laura and family! We're thinking about you and hoping Gerry finds a position he'd really like in Central Indy. The kids all look adorable. I set up a caringbridge site for Richard at www.caringbridge.org/visit/richard if you'd like to take a look. Best wishes to all of you, MJ

We're so glad to hear that all went well with getting Kaitlin! She sounds like a wonderfully happy, healthy baby. What a joy! We're looking forward to meeting her and of course getting her and Marissa together. Enjoy your stay at the White Swan Hotel. I loved the breakfast buffets with all of the babies, parent, grandparents, view of the Pearl River and good food. BTW, how is Kaitlin's appetite? What are her favorite foods? Love and Hugs, MJ (and Rich)

I'm so glad to hear that Gotcha Day went smoothly and that Kaitlin is adjusting well. What a treasure to have pictures of her foster family and to maybe be getting even more pictures from the camera you sent! It sounds like Kaitlin had great care from both the SWI and her foster family. What a blessing! We're excited to meet her!

We're thinking about you as Gotcha Day is arriving. It's a wonderful experience to hold your daughter for the first time and also special to be able to share it with your mother. And I can verify that having "been there done that!" Have a great day tomorrow.
