I love the most important instruction on the bottom :) Thanks so much for sharing. I feel like I have so many, "Wonderful! Congratulations! It is so exciting!" comments to catch up on. I have missed a lot. But I love the pics of you and your little ones. So, even though it is late "I am so very happy for you!"
