Dear Catherine,
Hi! This is Aimee. I'm the one who met you at the airport with your grandmother before Triennium. We sat in the place together while we waited for our bus to take us to Triennium. Anyway, I just want to say to you that this is a GREAT blog!
Congratulations to you for becoming a big sister! I am so proud of you and know you will be a great big sister. You can show Elizabeth lots of things and I'm sure she'll be able to teach you a few things, too! Most of all you can show her how to "love like a Turnage girl!" Take care!
Love, Aimee (your Mommy's friend and now yours, too!)
We are so happy for you Turnages and will continue to lift you up in our prayers!
Elizabeth is SOOOOO blessed to have such a wonderful big sister and amazing mommy.
We can't wait to walk with you on this journey, and Turner is ready for a NEW FRIEND!!!
Love,
Alison, Thomas and Turner
I'm so excited to stay up to date on the goings on of your journey.
Keep us posted!
Our prayers are with you. We know that Elizabeth will complete your family and have no doubt that you and Catherine have more than enough love for Elizabeth. Safe travels and we look forward to seeing Catherine and meeting her new sister.
Terry, Kelly, Noah and Jack
Lynn, I didn't know that you and Catherine were getting a new sister. We are so happy for you and will continue to pray for you as your travels begin, while you are in China, and on your trip home with Two beautiful girls. Tell Catherine that Elizabeth will love her as much as she will love Elizabeth. We look forward to meeting our new Sister in Christ. Elizabeth and Paul Grantham
Hello Turnages leaving for China to get little MeiMei: I wrote you a message, but it got lost in blogoshere, I guess. The message was I am keeping you all in my heart as you travel to and around about in China. I will google the places you go and pray for your safety and comfort all along the way. So, I hope you will be able to update your blog while you are in China. Love to you all!
