Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you, Annalise Jordan Moores, born April 3rd, 2007, weighing 7lbs and 3ozs.

She was introduced to her mother on April12th, 2007 and her father on April 16, 2007.

Annalise means "graced by God's Provision". Amen, brother!!!

Acceptable short forms are Lisey (LEE-SEE), Alise, Ally, or AJ (not to be confused with the Backstreet Boy).

Here's your chance to say something to Annalise. I promise whatever you post, I'll read to her. So if you think she needs a warning about her father's taste in hockey teams or something of that nature, Fire away. I'll let you know what she says.

Welcome to the world, Annalise... I've known your Mumma for ages now and can certainly say that you are in the MOST capable hands I know. Your Pops on the other hand... :P Only kidding. He is a good man. You are fortunate, indeed.

I wish you health, happiness, joy and wisdom... I know you will be loved beyond anything you can imagine...

your family rocks!!! Welcome to the world baby Analise, you are going to have a wonderful life raised by two very wonderful people. Your dad may be goofy but he has good taste in coffee and there is something to be said about that. As for your mom, I have no doubt that she is overflowing with love for you and is going to treat you as such. I am so happy for you.

Annalise...you are too much for words. :) You are such a gift from God and He has great things in store for your life. Your parents loved you before they even knew you and now they will be able to pour that love on you every day of your life.

I agree with your other friends when they say they instantly start crying when they think about the way this has unfolded. I tear up and get goosebumbs when I try to imagine all that has happened in the past 2 weeks. Wow! God is faithful...

Welcome Annalise! You are so blessed by God to have such loving, fun, Godly, and dedicated parents. Don't be too hard on them... no midnight screaming sessions, no temper tantrums, and no throwing food! Oh, and don't forget to give them lots of snuggles, kisses and smiles!

Hope we can meet you soon. Congratulations on the gift of two amazing parents!

Kenny, Charlene, Brayden and Ethan

Dearest Annalise,

You bring absolute joy to us and your beautiful parents. We loved the thought of you coming into your mom and dad's life, and we are so excited to be a part of seeing you grow up... Mom and Dad and baby Annalise we love you - Pryia and Asha are going to freak when they see her. Pryia has made her a welcome home card. I think Asha is working on an ECard as we speak. ;)

We await your return to the home land. Enjoy Hawaii with your little girl. Can't wait to see you. Nachos to celebrate?? LOL

Love Les and Jaz and Pryia and Asha

AJ, you will be so loved by your Mom and Dad and by all who get to know you. I cried when I heard the news of your arrival and I am so happy for your Mom and Dad. May God continue to bless them with the joy we know you will continue to give them. May God bless you AJ and protect you.

Paul and Wanda: Our congratulations to you both! You are a beautiful family and we are so happy for you guys!!

Tim Schindel said...

Congrats from our family to you on the safe arrival of your chosen daughter. Our Father chose her for you and you for her. How awesome is that?? You will be great parents and will be a huge blessing in her life.

BTW - double espresso is the best antidote to a night of baby crying...

PS - if you lay very still when she cries in the night, there's a good chance Wanda will get up and you can go back to sleep!

Patrick and Camilla said...

Dearest Annalise, What joy you have brought to the hearts of your parents and to those who have walked this journey with them. You were born in their hearts years ago and to finally meet you is a gift from God. You have the best mom and dad who I know love you more than they can express.
We can't wait to meet you in person! Come home soon!
Much Love, Patrick, Cami and Leiah

Annalise,

It is true what family and friends have said, you have the best mom and dad. You are going to learn so much-from making the best coffee to putting together an amazing scrapbook!
You truly are a gift from God, a blessing and a joy! We all can't wait to meet you!

Here's my message to Annalise:
Annalise Moores first of all welcome to God's country Canada. You are a blessed child.
Paul and Wanda are going to be the best parents ever. Listen to them carefully. See how they live and how they love Jesus. He is real and loves you so much.
Get some sleep so mom and dad can get some sleep too.
You are beautiful and you are an answer to many prayers.
We can't wait to see you. We will introduce you to our kids, Oakley and Rebekah. Watch out for Oakley he is all about light sabres and Dora. Rebekah is the golden child who you will get along quite easily.
Love Trevor and Ginny

Paul I bought that Macbook you recommended...pretty sweet. Getting used to the new way of thinking. Thanks for your advice.

Paul, Wanda and Annalise!
We are so excited to see your smiling faces as a threesome....finally! Blessings and blessings on your wonderful life together. Most kids get parents with no experience whatsoever...not true for you! Your parents are true pros and are ready for eveything you have to offer! Suprise them and make it super easy! Love you all and can't wait to meet Annalise in person! You'll be mobbed by Ellie, Isaac, Hannah and Olivia!
Love the Koch Kamotion
