a grateful heart

Thank you all for all of your sweet blog comments, phone calls and emails. We have felt so much love and happiness from so many people. I am so thankful for this sweet little angel we have been blessed with. This is my favorite picture of her so far.

She is doing very well. I will never forget the moment Ashkii looked at me and said "It's a little girl!" in the sweetest, most thankful voice. It was awesome, and worth the wait.

Trevor and Savannah are so happy to have us home. They want to participate in every aspect of caring for Rachel. I am still pretty sore, but so grateful to have so much help from my mom and hubby so that I can enjoy Rachel and focus on recovering from the surgery.

She definitely looks like a linton baby. Thanks for posting more pics. Yesterday I asked Savvy to take a pic of Rachel with her dad's phone and send it to my phone. Her response was "just go look on our blog". Love your guts!

You forgot to post about the kids staring at Rachel in her swing. So funny!!
