I can't stand how much I want to take a bite out of those cheeeeeks! I can't believe how well she holds herself up. Mimi loves her and wants her as her new baby sister! You guys look so peaceful, can't explain it, but I've never seen either of you look so relaxed and content. I know you must be missing Max, too. But you will be home soon enough. She is beautiful.
Matt: Dennis says he loves you man!

Ruby says "I want to listen to Baby Esme again. She's cute." This is, of course, after we've watched the video 5 times already. We are all in love! Gotta go so we can listen to Baby Esme again.

Okay, that's the cutest yet. I also am in awe at how well she's holding her head up already. She's a little lady! Love checking out the backgrounds in all the photos too, to get a glimpse into life in RMI.

Dan and I were just watching Esme' with her hiccups...so good to see her "live" ... she's such a sweet pea. It brought us back watching her... I forgot all about how they get the hiccups like that. She is just so alert... I am amazed.
I hope we can connect on gmail sometime today... I have Cohen and G both home with me today... spring coughs and sore throats. I miss you guys so much and are counting the days until you come home! Enjoy the journey! I love you all. Auntie Biz

Kate Gj & Matt,

It’s easy to look out and think that we live in a world gone mad. With all the sad, tragic, and bizarre occurrences that happen every day, optimism can be difficult. But when I read your blog and look upon the images of your new beautiful little girl, I am filled with hope and assurance for a bright future. Drawing on the love you share with each other, with Max, your extended families and, quite obviously, the many friends you have, you have reached out, half way across the world, to bring the divine Esme' into your loving and secure bond. You have been blessed by Grace and are now spreading that Grace across the world. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us all! Esme' Dee Helyne Howd is well on her way to being a positive, joyful, exuberant child, who will bring sanguinity and delight too many. With you two as her guide, her success in at hand. Relish in each and every moment, and peace to you all.

You look like you are all having a wonderful time. You deserve it after all of the time and effort you invested in this adoption.
Esme is such and alert and beautiful little child.
By the way have you told her she is moving to Minnesota yet? It is spring here now and we are all waiting to see you .

Love
