Lily Beth

Hi Justin, Dilla & Lilly Beth:
Not long ago encouragement, hope and your enthusiasm might have been at a low level. Then God open the flood gates of heaven and started the process to get Lily Beth. Now I see the encouragement, hope and enthusiasm at an accelerated high. I have been blessed by reading your daily diary and by the pictures. Lily Beth, you are a prefect "China Doll".
Love you all,
Auntie Gail

Dilla, you have hidden talents according to day July 19th entries. I enjoyed your day very much. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. The 'sleep' picture with Lily and Dad was adorable. I am so happy to see your families happiness!

Dilla, Justin and Lily,

This is the first time that we've visited your website and it is just beautiful and amazing. I didn't start crying until I saw the first picture of Dilla and Lily together. You guys make a wonderful family! We can't wait to meet our new cousin and babysit or borrow her sometime! Hope the rest of your journey is just as fun, exciting and safe.
Love,
Scott, Julie, Kali and Michael

Lily is such a beautiful little girl and we can't wait to see her. I have enjoyed reading your daily journals and can't wait to the next day for a new one. You are in my prayers on your great journey. It is true, good things do happen to truly good people. I am so glad for you.
Missing you in St. Louis!

Welcome Lily Beth
God gave you the perfect parents!
We know this because your Mommy and Daddy took care of us for ten days and you get to be with them for a lifetime!
Your Daddy makes the best pizza and you will get to help.You will get to help put all of the stuff on the top and help push the dough down. When you get big enough to steer his Miada, we know you will be in the parade. We had our own parade with the top down on the car and everything. We drove around the neighborhood.

You couldn't have a better Mommy! She knows all of the best places to go. Grants Farm, the Zoo, and the Butterfly House. When you get older you will have a great time shopping at all of the COOL shops. And she is not just fun when you go places...At home when you make noise and get loud, she hardly ever makes you be quite.

Bet you get to be in a parade all over town when you get to your new home. And it is a great home. It is kind of like a mini Disneyland. And your new puppies Gus and Gizzy are kinda crazy...that Gizzy snorts all of the time. Gus jumps like a deer.

Welcome home Dear Lily Beth...we can't wait to meet you.We have a big new house (with a trampoline) in Washington state and can't wait to have you come and see us. We can run in the fountains in the park. Love you Lily Beth, Love you Justin, and Love you Dilla!!!

Love, Gabrielle (9), Madalynn (8), Alexandria (2) Emma (1)
