    Okay, so I'm probably going to watch that A MILLION times. I was just crying away like a baby, your reactions are just about as beautiful as your baby! She is GORGEOUS, and you guys are soooo happy! I can't believe it finally happened. I love Marvin's comment about how you always wonder what it feels like, then when you get the call, it's just so incredible. That made me cry first. Then you guys GETTING the pictures? Well, that was an amazing sight to behold. Like I say, I could watch it a million times. Congratulations, she really is a doll! SO excited for you!

    Oh, and I just showed that last clip to Matt and we both cried watching you. That first look of your daughter is just so special. I know exactly the emotions you were feeling....
    Also, it is great to finally see you "live"!

    Oh Carolyn, seeing the joy in your face is so bringing back last weeks memories. There is NO feeling in the world like it. It's hard to explain to others who haven't been through it. Aren't you glad you made the recording? I couldn't remember a thing until I looked back at the tape. It's so weird. I still can't get over how her hair and ears are so much like Olivia's. She's alot smaller than Olivia though - mind you she's alot younger too!

    Big cyber hugs

    ok, you guys. We couldn't download the videos at home due to dial up, but I looked at them at work and you had me crying with you. Good job it is too early for anyone else to be here. They would be wondering what in the world is wrong with me!
    I showed Kennedy's pic to my office manager(Connie) and she grinned and and agreed with me how adorable Kennedy is.

    Love

    I too have watched the videos a million times. I just showed tem to Sheri Lee, Rodney and mom last night. SheriLee was standing just behind me and I wish I had an umbrella for all the tears that were falling on me. :) Seriously, those videos are priceless and sooo emotional. I love them all. Especially Marvin's reaction and comments...so sweet what a wonderful Daddy he will be and I already know what an amazing mommy you will be...you are parents! I love it! I can't wait to see Kennedy in your arms, if I am in the hospital when you get back from China and can't get to the airport you better make a pitstop in to see me at Prince County (I just thought of this now and so I thought I better write it before I forgot)
    I can't seem to come down of this excitement high...it is better than Christmas, I don't know how you guys are doing it!
    Love,
    Jen

    Thanks for sharing the videos. We had a good laugh (because we know that we won't ask the right questions either) and we loved the last video especially Marvin's comments about Kennedy's ears and hair!! What a cutie (Dad and daughter!!) May this time go very quickly for you!! Congratualtions on your beautiful daughter.

    Congratulations! I have always known I would cry when my daughter is placed in my arms but I am realizing more and more that I will be crying when I first see her picture. All the best as you travel to meet your daughter!

    ok I am so embarrassed to say I have a getto program on my computer! Anyway I have an upgrade on my Lap top and one of the first things I wanted to do was check out these videos and finally I figures it out. I am just so full of joy and happiness for you guys!It is 1:30 in the am. and I'm sitting in my living room and the waterworks won't stop. That last video is priceless, you have truely inspired me. I can't wait to see how much or little she changes in her looks in the 8 weeks that has passed.
    She is so sweet!
    Hugs and again Happy Birthday Marvin.
