I am sooo happy for you both. Watching your little Willow and looking at all the photos brought tears to my eyes. I love the squeeky shoes. Of course, YOU might not love them so much after the novelty wears off!! :) Treasure every moment - but then, I don't have to tell you that, do I?

Mike and Laura,

Willow is absolutely beautiful. The pictures of you with her are great, and really worth the wait. You look like naturals at parenting, and even having fun at it. We know you will treasure every moment. Even when Dad has to work late. Enjoy your trip, it is a once in a lifetime experience
