First Dinner Delivered (4/16)

We got our first dinner delivered to us tonight. It was yummy, we had Chicken Fajitas, Spanish Rice, Cookies. Please find here a picture of the cookies that were made for us. Everything was wonderful...and very much appreciated! In addition to bringing a great meal, Craig & Julie also coordinated the delivery of meals via a really cool website (http://www.foodtidings.com/) that enables people to sign-up for nights they want, and put what they are planning to bring. Again, really cool...Thanks Guys!

Surprise from Daddy's team at work...(4/9)

So, Daddy was surprised on 4/9 by all 60 of his team members at work both in-person and via video conference presenting him with a card and a VERY generous gift card to Target for all of our baby needs. Thanks to all who contributed and made this happen. This was a very special time. Please find in this photo the card which the team that was on the video conference both made and then mailed to Daddy. This is a picture of Franchesca with her big card.
