Meeting GG for the First Time!

Here is a video clip of us meeting Gabrielle (in person) for the first time - don't think it needs any other introduction.

PRAISE GOD!

A special thanks to Dana for taking such amazing pictures that we will treasure forever, and to Barett for taking great video (and being an all around great guy!)

I couldn't help but imagine what our version of this will be like. It was nice knowing that our son was just steps away when you were shooting that video. Thanks for taking our love to him. : )

Thank you for sharing such a special moment with us! I began showing it and Josiah hopped right up in my lap. He watched the whole thing with me and pointed to the screen and said, "Hi, baby." It was very sweet. I guess they are just going to have to meet some day.

With Love,
Penelope (and Josiah)

I found your blog through Kristen's blog and watched your video. I also balled like a baby like many others. Thanks for sharing this special moment. It helps all of us that are going through the process have a light at the end of a long tunnel. God Bless you!

I'm surprised I could see everything through the tears. Just beautiful. It's so great to hear she's doing so well. I still find myself thinking, "I can't believe they're really home with her!!!"

Love,
