WOW. she is JUST BEAUTIFUL. may she be blessed with a lovely life. robin
Thanks, Robin. Of course, we’re biased, yet by all accounts in addition to ours, Gracelyn is beautiful (outside and in).
She is so sweet! I so look forward to meeting her. Much love, Randy
Wonderful pictures! She knows she is surrounded by love – as are you and Shonnie as well. Such a happy event. We are thrilled for you all.

Congratulations to mom and dad for bringing this angel
to her new home. I love the photo of Gracelyn resting in Bruce’s hands, amazing! Did Shonnie take it?
That photo is actually from the in-hospital photographer who I agree did a great job. Thank you for your loving comments, Max.
I’d be smiling like that to if I came into this world with you guys as my parents! Welcome Gracelyn! Thank you for joining us!
Thank you, Randy, Patsy, and Tom. She is encircled with love from Momma and Daddy but also from loving friends like y’all. We are all truly blessed.
Soooo precious! She’s perfect! So happy for you both! Thinking of you from across the miles! Elizabeth & Eric
Oh, she is just so beautiful! I love the little baby wrinkly skin! Beautiful pictures!
Congratulations on the birth of your baby!
Greetings to Gracelyn and welcome to our world – you are beautiful and truly amazing. While I have not met you dad, I know your mom. Man are you lucky! She is brilliant and wonderful – I can already see that the acorn does not fall far from the tree! And Gracelyn, my mom was Grace, and she too was an amazing woman – this name will serve you well.
Lovingly sent from Canada,

Congratulations! She is beautiful. Thank you for sharing her introduction into the world with me.
Gracelyn smiling is one of the BEST-EVER photos of a baby I’ve ever seen. I wonder … what is she thinking … dreaming … meditating on?
So glad to see pictures – can’t WAIT to see her in person (and you and Bruce, too).
Yahoo!!! We are THRILLED with the birth of this beautiful little girl. You two will be THE most amazing parents…she is indeed lucky. We can’t wait to meet her in person! Love, George and Caroline
Congratulations to Shonnie & Bruce! The pictures are beautiful! Gracelyn looks very comfortable in Mommy & Daddy’s arms.
I am having a girl too so hopefully our daughters will be able to meet someday soon!
All our best to you, Beata and Michael
Shonnie, You know how I hung on to BEING instead of doing. I still learn this very lesson with Evan who is 12, almost 13 years old. What a wondrous understanding. What a beautiful way to practice! Love to you and Bruce and Gracelyn.
uh-oh. Already flashing the baby gang signs at week 2. Careful who you let her mix with, you two!
She makes all kinds of great hand gestures. It’s fun to make up our own interpretations.
WOW…what wonderful pics you’ve got already. I can’t believe you’ve already taken her on a hike, or that you were able to hike so shortly after a very difficult labor. Speaks to your fabulous health and consciousness. What a fortunate baby to have you both.
The beauty of my personal favorite, Momma and Baby, brought tears to my eyes.
Thanks so much for sharing the love and joy with us,
Kali
I love the photos. Gracelyn is a beautiful baby, as are her mom & dad !
What a beautiful baby!!! Thinking of all three of you.
Love the pictures! We can’t wait to meet! Give Gracelyn a BIG hug & kiss from Aunt Shevaun!!!!!
YOU HAVE THE CUTEST BABY EVER!!!!! Sorry I never replied to your e-mail from months ago… you got snowed under by other messages. But I thought I’d check you baby blog again and I’m happy to see you have the cutest babygirl ever!!!
Congrats!
