She is so beautiful and you make a spectacular family picture. So glad court went well....isn't it a great feeling to be done with that...so much pressure that now can be let go. I am always amazed at how God takes care of all of our little ones until we get to them. Our Nick was born at apprx. 28 weeks. 2 lbs! We can't wait to tell Nick as he gets older how much God had to orchestrate his beginnings just to survive in a small town in Kaz. What little miracles our kids are...
Congrats to you both and now just enjoy your special bonding time without distractions until you can get home! And of course, we need more pictures! Karen

It is wonderful to see you together and hear your news. I was on the phone to your dad just after he got the news. A Grandad twice in 2 months.... Fantastic. It really is great to see God answer so many prayers over such a long time. Not long till your articles go world wide either !!

Well Philip and Amanda, for once Philip's boasts were not exaggerated, she truly looks like a princess and those blue eyes to match Amanda's are stunning!! So glad all our prayers were answered in court. I can't wait to meet her in person and pray that that will be accomplised in record time. For now you can just enjoy the fact that she is YOURS!!

I've been waiting (not so) patiently to be an aunt pretty much since yous got married and now its finally here i can say she was worth the wait.

She just makes me feel sorry for all the other aunties that have to get by with their not so cute neices.

Looking forward to you's getting home so we can take a much needed updated "Davidson" family picture

Leah is absolutely gorgeous!!! We are all really delighted for you. Abigail is very excited about meeting Leah - (She is very impressed with her choice of 'Favourite' book!!!) I think the book is very appropriate too - Life can often feel like an awkard caterpillar, but with a little bit of God's help it can transform into a beautiful butterfly! Cherish every moment and capture every memory - you both deserve it so much! You are never far from our thoughts and prayers.
Paul, Claire and Abigail xoxo

Oh she is just lovely...Auntie Av was right!! If this manages to get onto the comments page I will be delighted cos it keeps crashing on me. We are so happy that all went well in court...(AJ your speech must have been perfect - still think the changing of nappies should still stand though)...another major hurdle cleared. Think Phil you should try and squeeze that wee dog into your case when coming home...Leah would love it and would be company for Rosie too!!

Jamie wants to warn you both that Uncle Gary was over earlier and made Annie cry, twice. Maybe you should keep this in mind when introducing Leah to him (lol).

Take care out there and hope the days fly by for you all.

Love and prayers

Jamie, Rachel, Faith & Annie xxoo
