He is the most adorable baby! I think he looks like Katie and he seems very serious. Can't wait to give him a big hug. It's wonderful to have Gavin in the family.

love mom

He is here!! How exciting it is to meet your little person!! It gets more exciting every time. May God bless you with many little babies!! I am so glad it all went well. He is so sweet with his little head of light brown hair. :) Don't do too much or you will feel you are birthing again in a few weeks. I am so excited for your sister. And your parents too I know they want many, many, many grand babies!! Sleep deep!!

Hey Doug,
Thankyou for the encouragement to set me back on track with God, I know I was kind of... I guess I forgot to look at my map to see where to go. I hadn't read my Bible since I moved, until you talked to me about "getting back on track", at youth group that night. Now, I am going to Youth Group more, at Yokosuka, and the Ikego Youth Group will be starting up again soon. VBS is a blast(so far), And after we're done with VBS each day, Nate has this "servants first" Class, which shows us examples (like David, and Saul/Paul)of how to be good servants torward God. It's pretty cool.
Anyway, Thankyou very much.
I'm Glad I was *Lucky enough to have you as a Youth Group Counselor.
Love-n-Christ,
Caitlin (Kei Kei)

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE CUTE LITTLE ONE! :D As I was reading the paragraphs on him I was like :O! As soon as I finished I said a prayer for him. :) My mum and dad say hi and send their congrats and love. We hope everything goes right and that you guys don't loose your sanity over his adorableness. *laughs*

Hi Katie and Doug,
Dante and I would like to congratulate the two of you on the beautiful arrival of Gavin. He is a wonderful, healthy blessing for you. I have really enjoyed looking through your pics and even though you two are so far away reading all about your thoughts and joys really helps me feel connected. I'm sure you've heard that Dante and I are expecting our first child in March, look at the trend you've started! I am currently working as a pediatric physical therapist and just wanted to back up the knowledge that the two of you already have....club foot is very easily treated with excellent success and you won't be able to tell a difference between those cute little tooties when he gets older. Congratulations again!!
Much love and many blessings,
Thisbe and Dante

Now that is a cute baby! Congratulations! I'm heading to Debi's wedding this weekend so there's lots of wonderful things happening to people I love. Jon & his wife are going too. God is just amazing!

Hello and congratulations on the birth a beautiful and happy looking little boy. We are cousins of Elaine Collins (Upshaw) We have never met but she forwarded your latest letter regarding Gavins operation.

Have faith in your doctors, I have seen what they can do with these little ones and it is akin to a miracle sometimes. A dear friend of ours had premie twins and they went through a lot but are fine an healthy now and growing toward their 2nd birthday. This too will pass. Be of good cheer and have a wonderful life.

McNett family- Glad to hear everything went well with Gavin!!!He is so cute!!! How are you all doing??? Are you all getting sleep??? It has been a lot of fun getting to know your brother and watching Bella at dance class, she is adorable!!! We love you all lots, love the chambers family

Praise God! I am so happy to hear that everything went well for Gavin,and for you guys!God is awesome all the time. This past Sunday in church I heard something said that will forever stick with me. It was said that all that gods promises and miracles that are in the bible, a lot of the time we think of it as though it were a million years ago. But truth be told that a million years is like one day to God. All those promises we read about, we to have the same ability to obtain them , right now. I hope this makes sense when you read it. lol . But to think that in Gods eyes he preformed those miracles just yesterday, makes it so I am able to accept the fact that he can and will do miracles in my life as well as yours. I thought it was awesome to hear that. Praise God!

Just checked out the new pictures. That kid is joy bubbling over! Glad to hear you'll be returning soon. Love & hugs & prayers!
