| Message | I am so completely excited for your sweet Emma. She is not only completely beautiful, she is also blessed with a wonderful and loving family. Thank you for sharing her with us. I am eager to hear about your family gathering. How did you present her to them? We had all of Jaden's Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents (be telephone) at the house. We gave them each a red gift bag with gold tissue paper in it. They each opened their gifts to find something special for each of them as well as a photo album with all of her pictures in it (4X6). Before handing them the red bags we gave them each a small letter which expressed our appreciation for their support in this process. We captured it all on video and camera. I'll blog about it soon. It was so fun! I know that your evening had to be very special as well. Congratulations Mom & Dad! The Smith's are so very excited for each and every one of you! Traci |

| Message | I was just looking back at your blog from November - when Emma was born and thinking about what we were all doing and how we were all praying for her. Not knowing that she was just being born. We were showering you and Emma with all your those baby shower blessings. In the spirit of Emma's Grammie: "Shower all the people you love with love" even the ones that aren't here with us yet  |

| Message | The only way to feel dissapointment on a day like today is realize that we'll have to miss something really awesome with our friends in order to have our own life changing experience in another location. We so wish that we could be there to experience the Staub family of four become the Staub family of five. Congratulations to all five of you! Scott, Traci, Valerie & Kevin |

| Message | I, too, hope CCAA matches deep into June so that many Jitterbugs receive their referrals this month. It is so hard to watch the saddeness of the "left behind" LIDs. Having been there myself I know the feeling. Hang in there. It will happen. The one helpful I can say is that feeling "confident" that it is my turn (feeling so not-sure about writing that) this time....last month I was sooooo at peace. If you don't make it this time you will feel peace come over you all of June knowing you are next. In support, Diane moderator of Jitterbugs dd Maggie (Vietnam) waiting for Molly lid 6/13 |
