I am so happy the SDA appointment went well and it is precious that you got a baby picture of Dennis. I would love a picture of Grisha when he was a baby. These are things to cherish. I can't wait for you to see him! :) <BR/><BR/>It is nice that you and John are having a lot of alone time. :) Ya'll seem to be having a lot of fun.
