Thanks for all the congratulations from so many friends!    

You can send Austin a message via Rachel or Andrew

 

That's wonderful.  Congrats on your grandson!

Whew! I think Joy was pacing the floor almost as much as you guys were.

 How are the grandparents doing? 

 John C.


CONGRATULATIONS !!!   Boy, does Rachel ever look like you, Marguerite !  Isn't it wonderful  to be able to enjoy grandchildren?   I now have three greats and another one on the way. They're all Doug and Lee's grandcildren.

By the way Dave, I met a guy out at the Orono Fair who's from Garden Hill and he said you were at his house fixing his computer.  He said that you were expecting a phone call about Rachel, and you might have to leave his place if the call came.  I didn't know Rachel was expecting.  Now you have two,  WOW!

Love Aunt Anne


hurrah!!!

Joy C.


Congratulations to all!  That's wonderful!

WOW DAVE LONG!!!  You are a Grampa again!  And a boy and girl yet!  You have caught up with me, and I am rejoicing in your successful new career as a  Grampa.  Congratulations to you and Marguerite, and of course to Andrew and Rachel (who did all the work).  Freaks me out how women can go through childbirth and then a few minutes after, be smiling like Rachel in the photo.  Very cute kid.  Andrew and Rachel look ecstatic!  Congrats to all!

Welcome Austin Mathew! 

We were sooooo thrilled to hear the good news.  Hooray!  Funny how my Dad found out about it before we did. 

I am certain you guys are busy figuring out how to cope with the brand new baby in your lives, so I don't expect a reply to your email any time soon.  Sleep might be higher up on your list of priorities. 

Can't wait to see a picture of the little guy!  Rachel, I hope you are recovering well from the delivery.  Our love and best wishes go out to all three of you.  Let us know when you are up to visitors.  Have fun falling in love with your little man! 

Congratulations!

Love Cristina and Morris


Hey Girl!!!

Congratulations!!!! What a beautiful family!!
God bless you guys and this precious present that has been brought into your lives.

All my best wishes!!

Sonja


I'm so glad to hear that you and Austin are happy and healthy.  I know that things are probably very busy right now (understatement!) but once you've settled a bit Kevin and I would love to come see the whole family.  There's no rush - just let us know when you're ready!
Karyn.

Love Terry


Congratulations Aunt Marguerite! You and Uncle Dave are now the proud grandparents of TWO beautiful babies! Little Austin look so adorable, and Rachel and Andrew looked so pleased with the baby. I bet the Rachel is glad to finally have the baby out of her! Please give them my best wishes, as I can not be there. Can you please send me their email address? I believe I have one for Rachel that she doesn't use anymore. I would love to send them a card, too! I think that Dean and Dionne will be attending the shower at the end of the month, too. I am not sure about the others.
 
Tell everyone that I say hello, I will be home to visit at Christmas. Europe is wonderful by the way, I've had a really nice time here. I leave here soon, and fly to Boston to do some cruises out of there. Back to the cool weather!!
 
Hope all is well, I will see you in a few months!!!

Hello Long Family,
 
I am thrilled to hear the news of your latest arrival! I just love these websites that you do to share all the photos. Please pass on my best wishes to Rachel and Andrew! Stephanie, it is so amazing that you and Rachel are able to share these years together with your kids so close in age, enjoy the moments they go by way too fast.
 
All my love,
Shannon B.

Dear Rachel and Andrew

Many Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boy !!!

It was an absolute delight to view your beautiful pictures on Austin's
website today. (Somebody was very organised !!) How Fantastic.

You all look adorable and I am so happy for you.

Lots of Love from Louise (Warrior Friend) in sunny Ireland. xxxx 


Andrew and Rachel,
 
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. Parenthood is truly amazing as I'm sure you would agree. We can't believe our son Gavin is almost a month old already. We hope that one day soon Austin and Gavin can get together for a playdate. Maybe they could talk about the wonderful middle name that they share!
 
All the best,
Tyler, Amber and Gavin

Just had the most wonderful time viewing you and your baby and
Mommy Rachel. You all look so in love with parenthood and Austin.
The feelings look mutual.
Gord and I are so happy for you three wonderful people.
Does Austin look like Andrew? Is it his eyes? ...so distinctive!!
Take good care of each other and get lots of rest.
Congratulations......Pat and Gord


Hi Dave and Marguerite,

Congrats on being Grandparents again!  We looked at Austin’s web page and tell Rachel she has a very happy and healthy (and beautiful, of course) Baby!  We send Mom and Dad our congratulations and we’re looking forward to meeting Austin in person next Spring!

Shannon and Brad
