Payton June Valentine

From Aunt Corey - Welcome to the family Payton! I am so sorry that I haven't had a chance to meet you yet. You are so amazingly adorable! David, Darian, Miara and I will come see you tomorrow. Until then... all my love, Aunt Corey

From Secret Admirer - Payton, you are as cute as they come, but you need to start sleeping at night and running around during the day. Ask for a burger instead of whimpy milk and tell your mummy that you prefer ride alongs with Officer Ryan. You can also hint that mummy should get back to work

Grandma and Grandpa are so sorry we are so far away but Grandpa will be able to fill me in when visits next week and I can't wait to see his face when he returns with the report of his visit. I will try to work out a special trip to see you but we are so lonesome to see you. God Bless You Sweetheart and we love you so much.

Much Love, Your Relatives in Spokane!
