she such a peach! too cute!
we are so happy for her and the rest of your family. Though she is very lucky to have you I believe too that you are very lucky to have received such a beautiful little princess!
We can't wait to one day meet her in person!
Oh the wonders of technology... we feel like we know her already! We're so happy for you all, and so anxious to meet the littlest Smith!
I love seeing Miss. Sinclair. Isn't the internet wonderful? You are sharing your joys with us all the way from China. We are praying for your safe return.
Your new daughter is such a doll! Congratulations! I can't wait to bring my baby home...LID 11/13/06
