This gave me goosebumps! I am so incredibly excited for you. What a true miracle! Congrats on finally being a mommy and daddy! And he is just beautiful, and love his little outfit! I can't wait to hear the whole story.

We live back in Oregon now and as I was driving to Portland last week and passed the town in which I think you said that you lived, I thought about you guys, seriously.

Dear Shelly and Joel,
We are so excited for you, for your parents and for us. Congratulations! He looks like he could already be playing linebacker somewhere. We are looking forward to meeting him in person.

Love, Grandpa and Carol

I just sat and cryed as I viewed the pictures of your new little son. I am so happy for all of you. You are truly blessed. Put us on your list to send pictures to. We love you. Aunt Linda

We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED for you!! Brody heard while I was at enrichment, and he couldn't wait to tell me when I got home. My mom said he very excitedly called and told 4-5 other people. I totally cried looking at the pictures!! You guys are going to be super parents. I'm sure you're going nuts trying to take care of him and answer the millions of phone calls coming in. I have to say, i'm pretty impressed you got a post on the blog so quickly, life with a newborn is rather busy. We are so happy for you, you deserve the best. Like everyone else, please let us know if you need anything.

Brody, Karee & Ainsleigh

I sure am going to miss you next week, but Calvin is the ONLY reason I will let it slide...this time! Seriously, though. Matt and I could not be more excited for you and Joel. What a lucky little boy to have such amazing people to raise him! I have a little story to go along with this wedding/you, but it's too long to type. It's actually quite an amazing story that makes me teary-eyed just thinking about it. I'll just say that tender mercies of the Lord are all around us. Congratulations again!

Nicole and Abe said...

Congrats Joel and Lila, it couldn't have happened to more deserving people. I'm sure you will be great parents, as long a Joel can learn to share his ice cream snickers bars. Abe
