    Amber
    So happy for you, Dave and Ruby, who will have her very own little sister to torture (just kiddin', she's a luv bug) but most of all, I am happy for Gramma Em and Grampa Don. Oh, it's all so good. I can't wait to meet her.
    Be good to yourself and don't let those hormones get you nutzy.
    Good Energy Always!
    love Philly
