Hey Julie, Glad you got the card. Just wanted to send a little something to make you smile, and I know I like getting snail mail! :) Anyways, I was just reading your comment on Theresa's page....PLEASE NO...we don't want to break that girl trend quite yet. It can break after me...hahaha...Two weeks from tomorrow and if the baby cooperates we should know how the trend will run!! I am so excited!!! My appt is at 1045 (central time) so it will be a bit after that and the news shall be let out!!! YEAH!!! I can hardly wait! I don't know how I was able to go the whole 9 months and not find out with when I was preggo with Ryan. Its killing me th is time around.... Well I hope all is going well for you and your family! Love, Stacey -BHP/winsteads Dec 18 2007
Torresluna Family, Thank you so much for coming to Greg's party. It was great to see you all. Just think.... we will be seeing eachother again in just 9 days! Woo Hoo! Love, The Ekman Family -Hugs & Kisses :o) Dec 16 2007
Julie, I hate to ask this, but I sent you some mail about 2 weeks ago. Its nothing much, but I want to be sure you got it. Did you get it?? Stacey -BHP/winsteads Dec 16 2007
Hi Julie, I wanted to come visit, but I got the stomach flu this week. Yuck! I have a little something for you from the church as a thank you for the great pictures. I tried to send a sample to you, but the files are just too large. They turned out great, though. I'll call you when I feel better. I love seeing all of the pictures and reading the stories. It sounds like you are doing fantastic. Ava is precious! You and Christian are terrific parents! Love, -Christie Murray Dec 13 2007
Thanks for putting up some new pix. I enjoy seeing my neices and nephew. I am looking forward to all coming this weekend. Don't forget your camera. You should be able to get some really good shots of all the kids in action! We will have lots here, just between you and I there will be 7, plus Noah, and then the neighbors across the street and Marks kids. Wow! We will have over 10 kids 10 and younger. YIKES!! :o) See you Saturday!
-Tina Dec 12 2007
You two just make the most beautiful babies. Each one of them is so different but they have the same beautiful features (like eyebrows for instance)! Hopefully I\'ll be over this bug that I\'ve had by next week so that I can actually get close enough to enjoy your precious little girl. -Stephanie Rodriguez Dec 12 2007
How's it going with your morning routine? That can be a tough one, but I know you'll get it! However, there are still days that the wheels fall off our morning routine cart completely, so keep your sense of humor close by! ---Lisa P Dec 11 2007
Julie, she is just so sweet!!! I can't wait to meet her! God sure has blessed you with a beautiful family! -Cheryl Dec 10 2007
yay one week old wow! Happy one Week Ava!! You are just so beautiful. Cant wait to meet you Love from the Wards -Jamie Dec 10 2007
What a beautiful little girl!! I felt the same way after our last baby was born. I was sure that he was our last and prepared myself. But after he was born, I longed for one more! That feeling has come and gone over the last year, but I believe my hubby is finished. I'm not sure that even after another one I'd be finished...I guess there always has to be the last one!! Just cherish EVERY second you have while she's so little!!
Congratulations!! -Carrie Walls (cominginaugust2004) Dec 08 2007
She is an angel from above! I long to hold a little one again... bhp/quinnalexa -Lauren, Lee, and Quinn Dec 08 2007
Julie, Haven't signed your guestbook in awhile. Thanks for putting up so many pix of Ava for us all to see. I hope you are getting along ok with mom not there. But now we can have her. Have a good weekend with your family. Love,
-Tina Dec 08 2007
Hi Julie, I have been meaning to sign your guestbook for the past couple of days. I just seem to run out of time and i'm only a mommy of 2. The letter Christian wrote was amazing, I was crying half way through it. Looking at your pictures, you can tell how extremely happy and blessed your family is.
I will keep checking in on your family. I just love reading your stories and looking at all your pictures. I'm glad to hear that all the kiddos are adjusting well to Ava's arrival. Congratulations!!!
Love, Melissa -bhp/tzetzosfamily Dec 07 2007
Julie~ I sent you an email with a very special something... did you get it? If not, I'll resend it to a differenta acct!
Please let me know! Hugs and kisses to everyone! Love, Kristin - Dec 06 2007
Christian, That was the sweetest story I have ever read. It made me cry. It really is sad to think about the last baby you will have, but you summed it up beautifuly. I hope Ava grows slowly for you so you can savor this time together forever. God Bless You All. Brooke C -~www.csencsitsgirls.com~ Dec 06 2007
I just finished reading your stories, and I have tears rolling down my face. I have been nervous about how I was going to feel after this baby arrives, knowing that it was my last. (Now I am reconsidering =) What a beautiful perspective you both have. Thanks so much for sharing. -Tiffany King /bhp threekings Dec 06 2007

It was a pleasure taking care of your wonderful kids! They were perfect in every way...it's cause they have great parents who have done an incredible job!!!! I think I should come over for more weekends because I am convinced that I would lose a ton of weight from all the playing! :) Thanks for trusting me with your babies. -Jen Dec 05 2007
Congradulations on baby Ava! She is beautiful. I love the story your hubby left. He is so sweet. I think every woman out there needs a man like this. LOL. I can't wait to see more pictures of the baby and of the rest of your beautiful family! -Tracy & family ~ www.bhp.net/derekandtylerrussell Dec 05 2007
Oh my gosh, that was the sweetest thing I think I have ever read!!! You are such a wonderful husband and Daddy...thank you for sharing that with us.
Much Love -Michelle (bhp.net/aultman) Dec 05 2007
Wow Christian, what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful wife and family!! You're a wonderful Daddy and you did a great job of expressing yourself!! Enjoy your new little miracle!!
With love, Kristin - Dec 05 2007
Torreslunas,
You do this as well as any family I know. It's easy to see why God blesses you with four children--you take the responsibility seriously while taking the job lightly and cherishing each day.
Way to go with 6 hours of sleep--obviously, you read her the Torresluna Family Baby Wise Memo, and she's a quick learner! I say that tongue in cheek, while knowing it's no accident that you have four happy, healthy, well-rested kids!
I completely resonate with your sentimental thoughts. When they placed Silas on my chest, my first thought was "We made it!" and then nanoseconds later I thought, "I'll never do this again."
Of course there were days that I was saying that very same phrase with my teeth clenched--so soak up God's grace now and store it for those days to come!
Love you guys!
---Lisa P Dec 04 2007
Christian that is so beautiful ! I know how you feel as does my hubby. I would love to have more hmmm who knows where the future brings the Ward family could 8 be just as great lol! But really ya he is done and myself i am so sad! Best oof luck to you and that beautiful family. God Bless -Jamie Ward Dec 04 2007
Christian your letter is so beautiful. So true too, someone has to be the last baby but it isn't easy. Just cherish the "lasts" and thank God you get to have the experiences 4 times. You expressed it well. I love you, I love you all. See you tonite, -Mom Dec 04 2007
wow Christian bring tears to my eyes. I to exsperanced the same sadness that you wrote about when we had our last. What a great letter that you have Julie I'm sure she will treasure it forever -amanda Dec 04 2007
How sweet was that Christian!!!! You wrote a beautiful note that I am sure Julie will cherish forever. Stacey -BHP/winsteads Dec 04 2007
Jules, Congratulations! I loved looking at all the pictures. Your family certainly is complete now and just beautiful! I am glad that you guys are home and that everyone is healthy. I am also glad to hear that you guys were able to get some sleep last night. Hopefully that won't be a rare occassion. <br><br>We look forward to meeting Ava and hanging out with you guys! We love you!<br> -The McLaughlins - bhp/themclaughlinfamily Dec 04 2007
I was surprised that you went home yesterday already...again, my updater didn't update!! I was stopping by to wish you well on your going home day...and you're already there!!
Going home was always one of my favorite parts of having a new little one. It made it so perfect to have everyone home, and all your babies in the same place! Enjoy every minute as I'm sure you're busy soaking it all up!! I'm so glad you have that new camera to capture all the moments you'll always treasure!
I hope the kids (especially Landon) have a great transition. I have a feeling there will be times you might have more help than you know what to do with! I'm just a phone call away if you need a sanity break!!
Keep the pictures coming! They are all great! Ava is just gorgeous and I'm exciting to watch her change before our eyes.
Hugs to Christian and you as you embrace every moment with your "last". It doesn't get any easier. Our baby will be four soon and as we leave each little thing behind, we try to enjoy every moment. It's hard not to feel sad at times, but we are all so blessed to have four growing, healthy, happy kids!
God's Blessings to your family! With much love to everyone, Kristin - Dec 04 2007
Glad to hear you are both home and that everyone is doing so well! Keep the updates and pictures coming... Ava is so precious and I love the pictures with all the kids together... such a loving little family!
Take Care, -Terresa Dec 04 2007
Isn't it great to be home. Ava is a doll. Congrats to you all. I think I signed almost every picture!! They were all too perfect not to say something! I hope that you are still doing well and glad to hear that you have been getting a little sleep! Enjoy every moment! Lots of Love to you all, Stacey -BHP/winsteads. Dec 04 2007
