Two exciting baby announcements to share!
First, I finally received photos of the absolutely beautiful Sydney Ann Madsen – daughter of equally beautiful parents Lauren & Chris Madsen. (Lauren is my 
delightful former step-daughter).Â
Can you believe all this dark hair!! Â
Sydney was born September 10th at 5:04am, weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz and 18 1/2 inches long.  I can’t wait to meet her!
And speaking of lots of dark hair….
A couple of days later I got an email from dear friend Amy (Pearce) Gordon introducing me to Veronica Kahaunani Gordon.  Amy and her husband Kimo are adopting this adorable angel from Guatamala, and hope to bring her home before her 1st birthday (in June).  Kimo’s mom says Veronica looks just like Kimo’s baby pictures 
So we’re keeping our fingers crossed and I’m sending positive energy their way for a smooth adoption process….   won’t you join me? Â
And while we’re at it – let’s send “stay home” energy for Kimo, who is a Marine.  Looks like he may be deploying again in January…..   Amy, drop by and keep us posted on Veronica and Kimo’s deployment status!
I’m very happy for all the proud new parents, and equally delighted it is not ME!Â
Lauren’s baby is SO adorable!! Such a beautiful girl. But would you really expect anything different, coming from those two parents? 🙂
And Amy might adopt?? That is GREAT! I’m so happy for her and Kimo. That baby is SO cute. I will definitely send positive energy their way…
Both are beautiful babies.
Beautiful babies that will be showered with lots of love by adoring parents and grandparents. Kathleen, are you just beside yourself? I just hope Kimo will be in the states when it is time to bring Veronica home.
The State Department is threatening to end all adoptions from Guatmala,so we are holding our breath and working like crazy to move things along.I hope Kimo does not have to go to Iraq again but the only thing that is certain is that nothing is certain. I may have to go with Amy to pick up my new grandaughter.
They are such sweet darling babies! Best of luck to the parents.
Okay so all it takes to get me to post is a picture of my beautiful baby girl!!! We are so in love with her 🙂
It is great to sit and read the posts from my mom on this site. She is so witty and clever. (even sober!) Love ya Mom! We are working hard to bring Veronica home!
congratulations to the new parents and grandparents :o)What beautiful, Sweet, precious babies. I’m so happy for all of you.
