Congratulations Jessica and Ariel

Girls... girls... Everywhere...  I've been reading the blogs of my friend Ariel and my cousin-in-law Jessica and enjoying all the updates on their pregnancies and all the other things that are going on in their lives right now.  It was great to hear that both of them gave birth to healthy baby girls this week.  Jessica on Thursday and Ariel today (I think).  The babies are both beautiful and the mothers seem to be doing as well as brand new mothers can be.  I just wanted to congratulate them and wish them good luck in these first few weeks.  They will be some of the hardest weeks of their lives, but the rewards are so great that the hard parts will be nearly forgotten.  I love you both!!
