How fun to look back on this year and realize I have "known" you almost this whole last year! How wonderful that we both found the girls who were meant to be our daughters in 2010 and in that finding we found each other.

May God richly bless you and Molly in 2011! So honored and proud to know such a Godly woman and mother.
