Such a beautiful little girl!! We all rejoice that she has arrived well and healthy. Take care of yourself Melisa. I just can't wait to get there to hold my first grandchild. I think she looks a lot like Tim when he was born---I'll have to dig out the pictures. Love and hugs to the 3 of you. GrandMa

All my love ... and give Little Madeline a kiss and hug from me!

Dear friends,
Welcome to the world, Beautiful, Cuddly, Baby Maddie!! Your parents are going to have to strap you to their bodies to keep everyone from taking you for those sweet snuggles. :-)
Blessings and love,
Susie and Don

Hugs and Kisses to Maddy, so happy
she came early and that Mom and baby and Daddy are thrilled.
I just found out from Sharon,
on the phone when I asked her,
How is Melisa? and she said, well
she's home now with the baby, I was
overjoyed to hear the GOOD NEWS.
Look forward to meeting her one day
soon! I am praying for God to dissolve your cyst, remove it, I told God Melisa doesn't have time for surgery, she's a Mom. In His Hands,
Love and Prayers, Ginger
