Thank you Jimmy and Sachiko Jeffrey for the newborn layette & matching bib. Jasmine isn't able to fit into it, but if Jasmine has a sister later, she'll be able to make use of it!

Cousins: Chan and Savannah, Thank you for the Chinese New Year's lysee. Although I am not sure if this is the best use for it, I went out and brought Jasmine some pretty dresses.
Brother Hoa, Thank you for the amphlett. Once Jasmine is old enough to wear it, I will give it to her.
Ray and Jan Gretlein, thank you for your support through the last year and for the baby keepsake kit. We are not sure what we'll put on there yet, but I am sure whatever our decisions are, it will be just as memorable as having Baby Footprints.

Thank you Dad, Aunt Phun, Aunt Kien, Nancy, and Jenny for making the Full Month celebration possible. The food was great and Jasmine was really happy to receive so much love & attention. She must have known it was her day since she refused to sleep the entire time and now that she is home, she has done not much but sleep.
Thank you van Zoest (Ries, Leida, Jhentry and Emmi) for joying us and in making Jasmine's Full Month celebration memoriable.

Sabre Spring SPARTA,Inc - Thank you for the the surprised baby celebration and gift certificate. Sander loves the chocolate cake I brought home. Jasmine arriving on the same day was unexpected by me despite earlier signs of labor. She really didn't give us time to spent it, but that is good since now we have a much better idea of what her needs are.
Dank U, over Oma en over Opa voor het kado voor Jasmine. Wij hebben haar Zwarte en Witte Mind Shapes blockjes gegeven.
Tante Wilma,Ome Dick, Michelle, Sabine, Stephanie, Vivian Haverkamp - Thank you for your gifts: of clothes and shoes. Jasmine is very petite and has very small feet. It will be a little bit longer before she could really make use of them. Much appreciation and gratitudes.
Ome Henk, Tante Rianne, Henno, Eelco, Mathijs, Sonny Haaring- Thank you for the cool postcard - it was entertaining trying to read it and your gift is a big help to us at this challenging time. Please expect pictures and an e-mail on the things we puchase with your gift.
Michelle Haverkamp - thank you for all the baby clothes. It is much appreciated and completely unexpected. The clothes are of a different style and will add a different personalities to her wardrobe (well, what we can make of it at the moment). And the books, is very simple to read (and the words are easy for me to memorize) so I will try to read them to her soon.
Thank you Nancy Lam for premie one-piece. Jasmine could definitely use it and will be making use of it for a little longer. She is such a petite little girl, although she is gaining weight quite well and is growing taller quickly too!
Thank you Andrew and Jenny for more premie clohtes and socks. Jasmine has very small feet. The socks doesn't fit yet. They come right off the moment we slip them on her. The boysuits are very much needed.

Thank you St. Nicholas for the the baby monitor, baby clothes, and Mother Goose Nursery Ryhmes book. Sander and I will make good use of the baby monitor and hopefully we will be monitoring Jasmine instead of our neighbor's baby.
Thank you Rik, Jhentry, and Emmi for the children's books. Sander and I must rewrapp them and give it to Jasmine at her one year birthday. You both are right, next year isn't too far away, but I feel a little off since we haven't celebrated the New Year yet.
Thank you Andrew for the pop-up Dinosaur Book. I felll inlove with it at first sight and I am glad it is sitting in Jasmine's bookshelves since I don't think I would remember about it when she comes around.
Thank you Jenny for the 'Who's Your Daddy' baby layette. I got a pair of jeans from St. Nicholas that is perfect with it. There is no stopping her now.

The Wielands, thank you for the Einstein hand puppets. Jasmine, Sander, and I will have countless games to choose and many hours of fun. We definitely always have something to amuse her with.
Thank you Ardy & DirK for Happy Horse's Brown Teddy Bear. It is very soft and cuddly --- one of the softest stuff animals we have and it looks great sitting on top shelve of her white book shelves (the one Dirx didn't get a chance to see).

Thank you Aom for the diaper pail. This will keep both our rooms from smelling (my nose can't thank you enough).
Thank you Bob, Dang, Seagame, and Alyssa for the exersauce mega safari print. Assembling it was easy and lots of fun. I cannot wait until Jasmine arrive and is old enough to make use of it.
Thank you Catherine for the gift certificate. Sander and I used it to buy baby bottles and bottles sterilizer. Now Sander and I can share our feeding task.
Thank you Charity for the diaper bag. For sure Sander has no excuses to not help me carry the baby items when we are out strolling along the sidewalks.
Thank Connie for the traveling bath goods and the gift certificate. Sander and I used the gift certificate to purchase the wipes warmer. Jasmine does not have to worry about her tiny butt getting cold.
Thank you Marco and Leah for the growth chart and barnyard blanket. Jasmine is sure to stay warm through the winter and the growth chart will help us keep her height in check.
Thank you Miho and Aleesha for the bathtub. I feel much better about bathing Jasmine knowing that there is less of a chance for her to accidentally slipping and getting hurt.
Thank you Stacy and Doug for the barnyard pillows. This helps complete our barnyard collections. Jasmine will be able to play with them once she is older.
Thank you Sonia for the books. I love having something to read to her each morning even though she isn't here yet... They said it is never too early to start bonding.

Thank you Lidija and Mike for the Baby's First Toys. I am sure Jasmine, Sander, and I will have countless hours of fun with these toys and for many years to come.

Kelcy, Devona, and Chloe thank you for the baby night gowns and washcloths. Jasmine will really appreciate the baby gowns since it means, Sander and I do not have to take off her clothing just to change her diapers. And the washcloths makes cleaning her up a lot easier so she can stay smelling fresh, I am sure Sander and I will appreciate that a lot.

Thank you Ries and Leida for your gracious gift and for helping us bring the items home. Sander and I now have a baby nursery. If Jasmine gets just as excited as her father, and shows up 10 weeks early, she will at least have her own bed to sleep in.

Thank you tante Riet and Arnold van Zoest for the color and fun bibs. They are a good start. I am sure Sander and I will still be buying more!

Thank you Jenny and Andrew for the cute newborn outfits. I think it should help give Jasmine a soft and snuggly slumber through the winter.
Thank you Lee and Maria Kohse for the bassinet and the bouncer. I am not sure what we will do or where we are going to place it, but I am sure it follow me every in the house.
