Welcome Lucy! Your arrival made my day! and reminded me of how much God loves us and hears our heartcries to Him. May you grow in His love and grace and (in time!) become the beautiful woman He has created you to be. In the meantime, sleep peacefully and grow strong!
Welcome to the world, Lucy! You are so beautiful! I can’t wait to see more photos of you.
Congratulations Mommy and Daddy! You did a great job.
How sweet it is. Very excited and pleased for you three. Tiring and awesome days and years ahead. Rejoicing in Christ’s gift to you.
Congrats on a successful arrival, Lucy! And great job, Ann and Jon. We’re sure you are glad to have the waiting and the labor behind you. We are enjoying sharing in your impressions and experiences even from as far away as California. Many blessings to you all as you settle into family life together.
Yippie!! Yahoo!! Hooray!! I can’t wait to meet you sweet little Lulu!
Your parents rock and I have two wonderful kids you can play with once your head is steady. I know you will have a great time here on earth and we are happy you’re here. I love you already and can’t wait to hold you and smell your head.
Love and kisses,
Wendy
Lucy, you couldn’t be more beautiful! Your mothers journey was a long one and we are so very proud of her! I cannot wait to see more pictures of you.

Hi, I was present at the delivery by sheer coincidence and I just wanted to say that I got emotional three times with tears of Joy. I want to thank God for the Boyd’s and for letting me witness such a beautiful, loving, harmonious family. I feel priviliged to have personally welcomed Lucy into the world and I wish her health, growth and prosperity.

Dear Lucy Martha, I can’t wait to hold you and pray for you in person. Been praying for you a long time and I’m so glad you are now here. I hope you like red roses! There will be one at church this Sunday in your honor. It celebrates your welcome to the community of Christ. His fragrance is wonderful. And you are like a little Lucy peddle full of His creative fragrance. love and design.
May we shower you with grace at Grace Covenant Church. (That’s where your Mom and Dad go, so we will see you there. I think Daddy might have to hold you in church so Mommy can keep knitting something for special for you while she listens to the message. You will be well cared for and knitted for.) I’ll see you soon!!
Love, Deb Gustafson
You are so beautiful and precious and blessed. Sweet Lucy. Little fuzzy burrito. You were greatly anticipated and joyously received by fabulous parents. Carried and born by loving, strong, and brave Ann. Called out again and again by loving, supportive, lighthearted Jon.

Welcome to the world, Lucy! You are deeply cherished and love, and you’ll be getting to experience that as you grow up. So exciting! Enjoy your new home!

Dear Lu
I am only able to pronounce your name as Lu. You are my cousin and I am excited to play with you. We will really liven things up around the Boyd clan! I love babies, I love to go up and touch their heads and say “baaaaaaabieeee.” You are really cute, and your name rhymes with poo. :) Love, Violet
Welcome Lucia!
I have always loved your name, and I can’t wait to know you.

Little Lucy, when you’re able to read this you’ll have had a few amazing years with your parents. They are both extremely wonderful, as you’ll know by now. Welcome to the world! And as someone else mentioned, I definitely see mom and dad in your face!
Congrats Ann & Jon. Blessings to all of you.
Lucy, at last!
I am so glad you are here. You have the best parents a girl could ask for. Artistic, attractive, intelligent, great in the kitchen, and most of all, they have so much love; you will always be surrounded by love.
I thank God you arrived here safely. I am living just two blocks away now, so I will visit often.
Until then,

Hello little Lucy,
I am a late post-er to welcome you and I’m teary-eyed reading through all of the lovely messages for you. How wonderful to be born into a world so full of love for you. Add me to the list.
I have known your parents for a while now and they’re some of the greatest, most loving people around. I can’t wait to meet you and give you and them lots of hugs :)
ps. My grandma’s name is Lucy so I am predisposed to like you even a little extra.
Greetings from Chattanooga, Lucy! We are delighted to hear of your safe arrival, and are praying that God grants your parents sleep … and that he raises you up to be a steadfast woman of God.
Looking forward to playing with you,
Derek, Wendy, Banks, & Whit

Congratulations… welcome to the world!
Ho Ann, Jon, and Lucy,
Jon and I are so thrilled for all of you. We especially are pleased with the name Lucy as it is Max’s great-grandmother’s name! She was my favorite. Please remember us when you are ready for that first camping trip!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Judy and Jon
