And here is the lower portion (where you sign it!)
WAAAY big thanks to all the list mates who have posted such great ideas for announcements -- I know I plagiarized some of you! Everyone is doing just great....way better than we ever hoped. Dennis loves school....Benjamin loves having a baby sister to "help" (not that she always wants his help!) and the baby is the happiest creature I've ever seen. Our "old" kids are thrilled that the adoption is over and are loving having complete chaos in the house (Mom has totally lost charge.) Thanks again to all those who prayed and hoped for the children !!

What a wonderful way to share your wonderful news! I am so happy for you all over again, just reading it. And kudos to your "old" kids, for adapting to a much more exciting and demanding life than before.
