Greg and Mary, This is WONDERFUL NEWS! Elizabeth is a beautiful baby and she already seems to know what a lucky girl she is to have two such wonderful and loving parents..how else would you explain her complete comfort in your arms? I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear and see this! Soak in as much of Vietnam as you can while you are there. Have a safe flight home.

Mary and Greg,
OMG! How adorable she is! I'm so happy for both of you. I know, Mary, you have been waiting so long... and I close my eyes and envision scenes from Sweeney Todd - that have now come to life for you!
Have a safe trip home. Can't wait to meet her and get her onstage! :)
