Our neighbors, Shannon and Carlos, came to visit tonight with their 12-day old baby, little Renata. She is so very small and beautiful. It was wonderful to see her, and to see them with her. They are doing a great job, and we are happy to know that they are a few steps ahead of us.
We both had a chance to hold Renata. For me (Mary), she wiggled just like Gabriel is doing in the womb right now. With Noelani, she used Noelani's finger as a pacifier, and held her hand with her little tiny fingers. It was so sweet!
