Dear Planet Earth







On Thursday April 26th, mom and I picked up dad at the bakery around 10am and headed straight to the hospital. After hours of uncertainty and an outstanding effort by mom, I arrived at 8:35pm having experienced diffuculty making the turn earthwards towards the landing strip. Mom gave it all she had and more however, the doctors assisted me in a dramatic entrance. Dad forgot the baseball glove he promised to catch me with. Two days later I was loaded into the old Volvo and taken home to Grandma and Grandpa who came all the way from Germany to greet me. These days I enjoy eating, sleeping, and having my diaper changed (Dad says"just like my Uncle Joe"). I hope to meet everyone soon. Love and Peace To All, Lillie Sofia

Welcome to our world, Lillie!
I know you don’t know it, but you’ve already made it a better place, which is the best thing we can do for one another and this nice, little blue ball we’re hurling around on.

I can’t wait for you to meet Jilah and my Siona and Eran. I think you’ll take to them just fine.

You’ll know your mom pretty much automatically, but your dad.. well, I’ll tell you more later about your dad, but whatever you do, don’t ask him about the tattoo.

Blessings and kisses!
Unky Marky Mark

Dearest Lillie Sofia, Mommie Caroline, and Daddie Paul,
We just want to say thank you for sharing your journey with us. This internet thing is sooo cool. We missed you sending daddy's picture the first day and we're are glad you put it there now. We hope to see more of you as the days wear on.
God's grace, peace, and love to all of you in abundance.

Hi Lillie Sofia,

Du bist fast so schön wie Dein Onkel aus Deutschland. Du wiegst ein bisschen weniger, hast aber dafür schon ein paar Haare mehr als ich. Hoffentlich lernst Du besser deutsch als Dein Vater und wirst noch ein bisschen größer als er. Wir werden uns spätestens im Herbst kennen lernen. Deine Großeltern sind schon ganz begeistert von Dir.

Bevor ich Dich weiter lobe und Dir Tipps zum Umgang mit Deinen Eltern gebe, will ich Dich erst mal kennen lernen.

Grüße auch Deine Eltern,
Dein Onkel Christian, Tante Manuela mit Cousinen Steffi und Vanessa

Dear Lillie Sofia,
You arrived by dancing on an angel's foot from Heaven's brightest star. As a perfect gift from God, you have brought fulfillment and a vibrant life to our family. As I gaze at your brilliance, I know a little angel was given to us with eyes so bright and a smile so sweet. I look at you with a heart filled with love and joy. Although I cannot know what bright future destiny holds for you, I can only imagine and dream what celestial path you will choose. The path you choose will be your own, however, the journey will be intertwined with those who love you.
Your parents have so much to share with you. My brother, your Dad has eyes as huge as saucers that have traveled the world and beyond. Moreover, his heart is as tender and loving as your smooth and delicate bottom. Your Mom is as elegant and beautiful as a swan caressing her young. Always remember you are so special to your parents and they should always be special to you.

With all my heart and love,
Aunt Linda
