Lily is so very beautiful (words don't really describe the miracle, love and beauty). Aren't her eyes amazing?!? Not the usual murky greyish/blue of a newborn... Beautiful blue eyes! Oh, I can't wait to see more pictures!
WHAT A BEAUTY she is! And you're kangarooing her! Isn't it a wonderful feeling? Let Daddy kangaroo her too... and she has on the same cap when Vera was born! YOU ARE SUCH A FIGHTER LILY to make it here to meet your mommy and daddy! I am so proud of you!
