I know you two are far too busy to update this, so I'm going to do it for you. I held Erin at church this morning for a whole hour while Sonya ate a hot breakfast for once. She is beautiful. She has the roundest cheeks in Minnesota, she says "da" to everything, and she would not let go of my earring. Congratulations again, you three. You were worth the wait.
