We are so thrilled to announce the arrival of Virginia Olive Wood. Born June 3rd, 2008 in Sacramento, CA. 6lbs 6oz 18inches. Warren and I had a crazy week where we got a call to meet a birthmother in California, met her, flew home, her water broke 12 hours after we went home, flew back to CA for the birth of a son, then 2 days later the birthfather flew in just to stop the adoption. Of course we were heartbroken. Only two days later we got a call for our daughter who was already born in the same city!! Back we flew to pick her up in California. That was one CRAZY week!
After all that choas it is wonderful to be back home with our new daughter. She is named after Warren's mom, but she also makes me think of Virginia that we graduated with who was always so sweet and wonderful.
When Maxine met Virginia and I at the airport and saw her for the first time she said, "Mom! You brought me a baby?! Thanks!!"
Hope all is well with everyone else!
Warren, Mel, Maxine, and Virginia Wood
