    Hooray, you are here, Rosie-girl! You are so beautiful and I can’t wait to see how you grow up. Curly, straight, dark, light? Who can say - but with parents like yours, and a sister like Lu, you will just have to be wonderful.

  10. kelly Says:

    welcome, welcome little Rosie! You are beautiful and so is your name. I’ll be praying for you and your big sis! My sister and I are only 1-1/2 years apart and it’s even more fun now when I’m 40 and she’s 39 than it was when we were kids.

    Rosie, you are beautiful!! Your parents did a wonderful job w/your name because it is absolutely adorable! Welcome to this wonderful world! :o)

  20. Kelli Says:

    Yesterday was the best day because of your birth, Rosie! Thanks for not giving your momma too much trouble in the process! Get lots of beauty-rest (let your parents get some too). You have a reputation to maintain now that you’ve made such a gorgeous grand-entrance. Cuddles from us Lenzes!

    P.S. We love your name but could never possibly have used it with our last name. Glad you have it!

  21. Sara S. Says:

    Welcome to the world, Rosie! I was so excited to read about your arrival. I love your name, and you are absolutely adorable. :) God bless you and your wonderful family!

  22. Melanie Keller Says:

    Welcome to the world Rosalind!! I have to tell you, that a very clever man named William Shakespeare wrote a play called As You Like It about a smart, funny, perceptive and utterly delightful girl with your name. She is one of his most remarkable heroines and I’ll bet it’s no accident that your very clever parents gave you such an auspicious name. Also, it’s a really, really pretty name. I send you and your parents and your big sister Lucy all my love and best wishes.

    xoxo

    Rosie! We love you and your beautiful name. :) I am eagerly looking forward to meeting you in person. Congratulations to Lucy on becoming a big sister! And a big YAY for Mama and Papa Boyd! You have a lovely family.

  24. Aunt Charis Says:

    So thrilled to know that you have arrived. I thought I’d check your parents’ website and lo and behold. Wow, we are so delighted that all is well with you and your mommy. I love your name - Rosie and also Hazel which was your great, great aunt’s name. So happy to know you are here and I bet your big sister loves you already. You are a beauty.

  25. Uncle Tim Says:

    Happy St. Patty’s day, Rosie. I concur with my sister (above) that we are happy to have another Hazel in the family. You appear to have hypnotized your sister - this will be a worthwhile skill.

  26. Uncle Dave Says:

    Great to have a new addition to the clan. Look forward to meeting Rosie and her big sister Lucy some day. Maybe we can gather at our casa in Merida in the Yucatan when a warmish sort of day might be nicer than a midwest winter day. Rosie Hazel; what a nice name.

  27. Ruth & Daniel Says:

  36. Nancy Pedulla Says:

    Dear Rosie,
    You rushed into the world in the midst of full days for your parents. I saw your mom looking radiant and dressed up to celebrate just a day or so before you came. And your dad did a bang up job launching a big event and then rushed off to be superdad for your arrival. We are all glad you are here. Keep claiming your own territory in the delightful family you have entered!

  37. Mike Schutt Says:

    Dear Rosie,

    May the Lord bless you and keep you and make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; may he shine his favor on you and give you his peace, all the days of your life!

  41. Nancy Garland Says:

    Rosie, I was so delighted to receive an e-mail from my dear friend, your grandmother Betty, on 14 March to let me know that you had arrived! And then to be able to enjoy a beautiful video of you sleeping peacefully in your adorable sister Lucy’s arms on your wonderful mother’s lap was such a treat! What an amazing hi tech world you have entered - but nothing will replace being able to give you a hug! Meanwhile heartfelt congratulations to your family all and a warm welcome and loving good wishes to you, Nancy and Jack
