Dear Friends and Family,

As we approach Edmond and Enele’s first birthday, we want you to know how thankful we are for the support you provided in preparing for our twins’ arrival and their first year of life. We haven’t said it enough: thank you. We couldn’t have done this without you.

From gathering baby things to your outpouring of love during their time in the hospital, you made a tremendous difference to us. Your prayers, gifts, meals, and encouragement helped us persevere during the hard moments and gave us many opportunities for joyful ones.

Throughout the first year of their lives, you’ve stuck with us as we clumsily navigate the trials and triumphs of parenting five little ones. Your help, advice, and empathy are invaluable to us.

As we approach their first birthday, we want their celebration to be a recognition of their lives and a tribute to all of you who have supported us throughout this journey.

Thank you again for being there for us. We are so grateful for you and look forward to your ongoing presence in Edmond and Enele’s lives.
