Good Feelings ⇒
I have been meaning to get these up for a while. When we sent out the email announcing our upcoming baby, we got many, many well wishes from friends and relatives. I have been meaning to upload them for posperity. So, here they are, in no particular order:
Aunt Pam: HI BIG DADDY! Great news! Sorry I'm a little late on getting back to both of you! Things were nuts last week. Did you manage to get together with anyone Erin? Let me know the next time you get to T.O. Get all the sleep you can now because this time next year will be a different story!! Say hi to Christine for me. L. GREAT AUNT CLAM!
One of our Africa friends, Mel: Dear Erin and Christine,
Congratulations!!!!! That is truly wonderful news! I'm so thrilled for both of you. I hope you have a smooth and enjoyable pregnancy, Christine and I look forward to seeing the baby pics come September!
Life sounds pretty peachy for you guys which is great!! I'm happy to hear that you both have great jobs which you enjoy.
Anyway, you precious kids.. CONGRATULATIONS again and I look forward to pictures and more emails! And don't rule out me making a visit to Canada. You guys will be the first to know.
lots of love,
Mel
Aunt Anne: "Hey, that's great news. How exciting for y'all. I will pass this great news on to Scott - he doesn't have an e-mail address. I gather Linda hasn't heard as of yet as she didn't mention anything yesterday. I won't say a word - I'll leave that up to the grandparents-to-be!
Take care of Christine and keep well. Gets lots and lots of rest cuz you're gonna need it! tee hee"
Uncle Cliff: "What a stud! Congrats to you and Christine and grandmas and grandpas to be! Great News.
I estimate that we will hear the new born from here on Day One, what do ya think? (unless, of course, he/she takes after ma)
cb"
Aunt Caroline and Uncle Graham: "That's wonderful news-we are very happy for you both. Right now I'm trying to imagine another little Erin-not a pretty sight!! Just kidding! Hopefully he/she will take after the mother. Enjoy every minute of this adventure-sometimes a little difficult for the queasy mother-to-be but do your best-it is a very special time."
Cousin Pete: yo erin whats goin on....congrats on the new member of the family, pretty exciting im sure....im sure your mom will love to be a grandmother, hehe.....tell christine congrats as well, im sure shes threw the roof.......im actually in montreal looking for a place to live, pretty wonky....decided against goin out west for now, too tuff without a car i think, if i wanted to stay there, so now im just debating whether or not to take a place, helluva lot cheaper than TO thats for sure...anyways man, have fun during pregnancy
Cousin Diana: "Hey Big Daddy Dalzell!!
Congrats to you both! I am sure you both will make excellent parents!
I will be out to visit you as soon as my bank account is back in positive numbers =)
Take care and let me know if you are back in Toronto again,"
Babs & Roger: "Dear Christine and Erin
Congratulations, great news about your pregnancy.
Allison and Derek will be thrilled by the news, so dont worry about telling them.
They like to hear what is going on with everyone, day to day events and special news."
'Nother Africa friend, Sylvia: "Hi Erin and Christine, great to hear your news. Hope Christine is feeling fine during her pregnancy.
Anyway, send you both my best wishes. Take care. Love Sylvia"
Family friends, Val & Barney: "Hi Christine and Erin
We are delighted to hear your news of the new baby Dalzell. Congratulations. We know that you will make great parents.
We are very very happy for you.
