I smiled throughout that entire montage. I laughed out loud at the "mama's gonna slap that lady". Too funny.

She is just adorable Mona, and I'm over the moon happy for you. Can't wait to see you in L.A. when you bring her home (or in Seattle...wherever you end up flying in to....Sabah and I will be there).

Love Ya,

T.

Yay! Finally!!! I was so worried when you didn't post on Monday but I am so overjoyed to see that you are "legally" her mommy! You have loved her as only a mommy could ever since you made your decision! Let's book a play date soon!!!!!! :-) It was so fun to run across the campus at St. Jeanne's today to tell Professora O'Hara the wonderful news. We were giddy together!

XOXO Loretta and Family
