This is all so gorgeous... I am getting goosebumps...
How wonderful that you were able to meet these other friends. As you know, they did not let me do anything like that while I was there! I love seeing the pictures...keep them coming~
Michele,
I just read that you love the comments. Maybe I'll be able to write something again soon, but everytime I pull this up I start balling all over again. Feel like I am "pregnant" again, feeling the heart-birth of Julia all over again. I am having such a wonderful time following your delievery.
Just love you people!
~Roxanne
PS: The sisters litterally look just like sisters. And they both have your sweet smile and tender eyes!!!
Congratulations on your new daughter! Both of your girls are absolutely beautiful and Sophie already looks so happy. How wonderful to meet Sophie's friends, too!
I found your blog through Denise's blog. I look forward to following the rest of your trip. I hope Sophie's transition continues to go smoothly and that Simone remains an amazing big sister!
Hi Houston family!
