Thank goodness for insurance is right. The announcement is so sweet. You must be so proud.

Oh my goodness! I was just figuring how much our insurance would have covered and all I have to say is, we'd be hosed. Totally and utterly. I love the announcement. Certainly hope there's one w/ my address on it... ;)

Ditto, Thank God for your insurance and for a now healthy baby. I love the announcement. Your friend did a wonderful job. She should go into business ;) Love and hugs, Mom

May God continue to bless the three of you. You have climbed a thousand mountains to get where you are today. I will continue to pray for your family. I hope for a speedy recovery for you. The announcement is precious, like baby Victoria. God Bless and all of our love-Packards

Insurance is one of those institutions that places a reasonable burden on all to relieve the unbearable burden on some. No magic, just simple sharing. Please thank those around you who under-utilize their insurance. For the most part they are glad to do it.

In time Victoria will grow to make her own contribution.

Love

That makes me cry and also makes me keep on working for my insurance! How thankful we need to be for that HUGE benefit. But Victoria is priceless regardless and worth every penny that we have spent on her! Love the laughing pictures and the announcement.
Also I was wrong on my last night of bowling! I can leave Tuesday night of the 11th (could be at your house by 6pm or so) or Wednesday the 12th whichever you guys prefer. Let me know! I'm sure Victoria can't wait to go meet Great Grandpa!! Love, Mom (Penny)

Having Victoria home and in the awesome care of both of her parents: Priceless.
