Now...nervous b/c of how many bumps they seem to accumulate on their head.
Then...discovering what a mother's love meant.
Now...experiencing what a mother's love means.

Then...my belly the day we met our beautiful babies!
Now...my belly today after having 3 beautiful babies!
Then...life was just about me & Todd.
Now...life is about having 3 children & feeling fulfilled.
Then...having our parents support us unconditionally.
Now...having our parents be the most wonderful grandparents in the world.
Then...not knowing who our pediatrician was.
Now...loving Dr. Nguyen & appreciating her kindness & understanding!
Then...not knowing what life really meant.
Now...understanding the meaning of life.
God gave us the chance to be parents to the most wonderful babies in the world. We are honored & thank Him every day for blessing us w/ Sofia, Gabriella & Ian. Thank you for following us on our journey!

Hi, Astrid, this is Richard from Argentina. Just met Rodolfo and Poppy at Karens' place. Sé que te gusta practicar español, así que sigo "in spanish". Rodolfo nos dio la dirección de tu blog y quedamos encantados que los chicos estuvieran creciendo bien. Felicitaciones para ti y Todd, los chicos son hermosos, y para ellos un muy felíz cumpleaños un poco atrasado. Les di un CD con algunas fotos de la familia para que lleven allá, y Rodolfo nos mostró las fotos que trajeron ellos, de la casa, del "rancho", de Ian y su novia, de Oma, etc, etc. En fin, nos alegra mucho haberlos visto (aunque sea en fotos) y que están tan felices y encaminados en sus vidas. Y con esas pequeñas bellezas que tienes como hijos, imagino que tienes una dicha completa.
Claudia, Cecilia y yo les mandamos muchos cariños y deseamos lo mejor para ustedes. Un gran beso, Richard.
