for anna and george

Hi Guys!
We received your care package yesterday - Mr. R can't get the mobile working, but aside from that, it felt like Christmas, again. When I saw the dress, I got weepy. It's such a beautiful little thing, and while we've been acquiring clothes and other items for Audrey all along, this was the first time I realized that one day soon our child would be wearing it, that this IS really happening. And, rather than evoking my usual feelings of fear and inadequacy, I felt such peace and such longing for the day when she will be with us.
And, you're both to blame for that, too. Seeing you with the twofers is just about the most precious thing, and despite your tales of sleepless nights, vomit, and mountains of baby poo, you make parenthood look so good.
Until the next time we're together . . .

awww...thanks for that post. Yeah, that little dress is totally adorable. And I couldn't resist throwing in the little sandals. George was completely behind those sun glasses. As for the mobile, gosh, it should work. If anyone can make it work, Rod can! I'm glad this little package brought a feeling of peace and anticipation. As a FYI- I've never seen George this excited about someone else's kid being born...I think he mentions it at least once daily so if you're not excited yet, George sure is!!! My theory is that it's because of the possibility of future double family vacations with you guys, but who knows what's going on in his head?!
