| Dear Abby, WELCOME HOME! You are entering into one of the most loving homes with some of the best parents I have ever know....with a way cool big brother! You might have to talk to Sam about his toy collection one day.....I am not sure it has enough dolls and dress up as you may like. But...until then...snuggle with mommy and daddy and Sam and know that you are very loved by many and held in the hand of God who has blessed us all with you! Love, Kevin-Heidi-and Oliver |

| I needed some great news before heading off to bed :) Congratulations! I will be sure to stop over sometime soon and drop off a couple of freezer meals I have made for you...as I am sure you could use a couple of effortless dinners in the near future so you can have more quality time with Sam and Abby. |

| What great news for the P family. Tomorrow night at this time you will be altogether in your home as a family. It doesn't get much better than that. Hope you are all rested up because sleep as you know it is history as you know. You are extremely fortunate to have both sets of parents near and so helpful. Best wishes to all of you and will be anxious to hear how it all goes. We love you all, Aunt Di and Uncle Rick |

How wonderful for both of you that you are able to enjoy those newborn moments without the tubes and (some) of the extra stress. You appreciate the smallest details that get taken for granted by so many! Enjoy holding Abby and snuggling with her! She has missed that as much as you have I am sure! Can't wait to see more pictures!

| Kristin- You are such a kind, caring and giving soul. Truly a blessing from God to your baby girl. I once heard there is no more intense relationship on this earth than that between a mother and her child. I feel that truth when I read about your demonstrations of truth, love & perserverance. Todd- The love you have for your son is something I admire greatly. To have your son tell you that he loves you is truly what life is all about. God's presence in our time. Sue and I will continue to pray for the four of you, especially for Baby P's growth and healing. The Lord loves you Abby! |

We were so excited when we heard you had a baby girl, Abby. Beings we have no computer, your mom Lynda, & Aunt Sharyl have kpet us posted with Abby's progress and Sharyl was able to show me the many beautiful pictures you have shared on the computer. We pray everyday for her to get stronger and for the day she gets to join her family at home. P.S. Sam is to little to be shaving HA! HA! So Todd hide all of your razors, etc. This is Abby's great-grandparents!!!!
