    Oh, Sophia… you are beautiful! Welcome the world little one… (Wendy and Rob, I hope you don’t mind the following- a tradition in my family to whisper to the baby during it’s first days)

    May God give you…
    For every storm, a rainbow,
    For every tear, a smile,
    For every care, a promise,
    And a blessing in each trial.
    For every problem life sends,
    A faithful friend to share,
    For every sigh, a sweet song,
    And an answer for each prayer.

    Congratulations!
