How awesome to finally see your beautiful children in your arms! I can only imagine how that felt for you!!! What an amazing Mother's Day gift for you. I had trouble posting earlier so I sent you a facebook note - I hope you got that. We cannot wait to see you all together in person with precious Kaden. We're praying for the rest of your journey. I am certain you will never be the same. I can't wait to see what God does through you with all you are experiencing. We love you all. Irene
