Thank You, Thank You, Thank You


Hi again!
This is a post that I have been meaning to write for the past several weeks but just hadn’t gotten around to it until now. Not only do we have our hands full with our sweet baby girl, as you all know, we have also been trying to deal with the loss of our dear friend, Anne Pressly. More on that in a moment.

I want to take this opportunity to offer some “thank you's“ First of all, I want to thank all of YOU! Our viewers have shown an outpouring of support and love to us as we welcome baby Sydney into our lives. You’ve commented on this blog, written letters, sent gifts, and most importantly… kept us in your thoughts and prayers. I can’t thank you all enough! We often refer to all of our viewers as part of our Channel 7 family… and that’s exactly what you all are! Thanks for all the well-wishes… and keep those prayers coming.

I’d also like to thank the nurses and staff at Baptist Hospital. You all are so great! Our labor and delivery nurse, Jessica, was so awesome! I am so glad that she was the one that was there when we came in. Thanks for everything! And to Luanne and all of our follow up care nurses… you all are great! We can’t thank you enough. You all made my labor and delivery experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Lastly, I’d like to thank Anne Pressly. Anne was such a bright spot in our newsroom. I want to thank her for her fun personality and her zest for life. I also want to thank her for her strong faith. She really is an inspiration to the rest of us. I can’t help but think of the cycle of life as our sweet Sydney was born just 48 hours before Anne was brutally attacked. I sure hope Sydney has some of the same positive attributes that Anne shared with us.

It’s been such a mix of emotions these past few weeks. My husband and I are experiencing some of the greatest joy with the birth of our first child. But at the same time, the loss of Anne has been devastating. The tears come often. The anger wells up too often. But I know that time heals all wounds. And with the support of friends and family and the strength of my own faith, we will somehow make it through this difficult time. I am so thankful to have baby Sydney here to always cheer me up. We really are so blessed.

Here are a few pictures. I’ll try to post pictures more often in the future!

Thanks again!!!

Christina, Thanks for all the posts and sharing all this with your viewers. I am so happy for you and your family. Sydney is beautiful. We are looking forward to having you back on Channel 7 though. I know it must be hard to think of leaving that precious girl. We are moviing out of the state in January so I really hope you are back before then!! I also wanted to send my condolences to you all over the loss of Anne. What a horrible, senseless tragedy. Although, the only way I believe you can get through something like this is to know that God is in control and He does know the reason even though we may never understand it. May God Bless you and yours with a Wonderful Christmas and hopefully a better 2009. Enjoy Sydney's first Christmas.

Baby and Mom look great. We miss you on the news each evening - hope you will be back soon. Latest posting 11/14 - need more news. I know how busy a baby can keep you. Just looking forward to having you back.

Dear Christina and family. I enjoy seeing you on TV and I glad everything went well during the delivery of your baby. You and the other people at Channel 7 mean much to the Community. I did not know Anne Pressly personally or had ever met her but she sure was a wonderful part of the Channel 7 family. See you again on TV. Sandra Starnes

Thank you so much for sharring with us those beautifull moments!! Sydney is an adorable baby!! Time flyes, it seems like her birth was yesterday!! You look great also!! In your last post, you mention your friend Ann, and let me tell you that when I heard about Ann being brutally attacked, I was shocked. I am still very shaken by her death, she was almost my age... Yes, time will heal wounds but I will keep her in my mind. Anyway, I wish you all the best for you and your family with Sydney. Does she sleep through the night yet? I just love the picture of her in her towel, she looks like my second daughter (18 months now!!). I look forward to seing you on TV again, even if Heather is great, we like you too. And, by the way, congratulations to Heather for a pregnancy!! It makes us feel like we are part of channel 7 when you share those great news with us... Thank you for being so "family proud"!! This is not the case with TVs from my country : France.

Renee
She is soooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!! I love the picture of her in the robe. Hugs and prayers!!!

Your letter made me cry. I do not know you personally but I can tell just by your smile and outlook on life that you are as beautiful inside and you are outside. The Anne Pressly story has toched us all. I am expecting my first grandchild and her name is Sydney also They picked out that name even beofre your Sydney was born. I pray thaat both Sydney's never have to experience what Anne did. This world has become so violent that it makes you says "Come quickly Lord Jesus" My thoguhts and prayers are with you and your family including the Channel 7 family. I hope that this man will plead guilty and do the most humane act he can for what he did and not make Anne's family go through the decriptions that will have to take place in a court room recounting what he did to Anne that night. Please let them know that we all stand with them. All I can say now is Anne rest in peace . Your death has touched many hearts and the piece of trash t hat did this to you will now pay!!

Jayme
Sydney is gorgeous!! Christina, you are such an inspiration and I am very proud of you! Thanks for all the nights of channel 7 and I can't wait for you to be back!

John Mogen
Hey Rudy! It's been forever since we've seen you! Let me know when you're headed home to SD. My life is great!

Christiia, Congratulations on the new addition she is very cute.After raising eight children of my own I can tell you it is the most awesome responsibility the Lord gives us. Enjoy the days of their youth they do not last long, savor each moment and let your child draw you and your husband closer together. Remember to make time for each other. Sometimes we forget to nuture our true loves.

Candy
You have a beautiful baby!! May God bless your new addition.

you are such a beautiful family!!!!!!! We all love you Christina!!

Janie Rogers
What a precious baby girl you have. She is just beautiful. It seems rather ironic that Sydney was born so close to the time sweet Anne was so violently beaten. So much good coming out of such a horrible time. I feel like everyone at Channel 7 is part of my family and I look forward to seeing more pictures of the new 'member' of the family. Love to your little family. Janie

Alison
Hi Christina, I've been wondering when you were going to write. Sydney is precious. You look really good too, I might add. We have missed you. I often thought how you dealt with Anne since your baby was born so close to the attack. My husband and I think about Anne everyday and even wake up during the night thinking about her. I pray for you both! Enjoy motherhood!! It's awesome.

Noah's Daddy
Congratulations on the beautiful bundle of joy! My wife and I had our first baby back in May, and awesome baby boy named Noah. He has changed our lives forever, and for the better.

God Bless!

Christina and Family

Thank you for sharing your new little blessing with all of us! She is so precious! I know we all miss Anne Pressly. She was such a blessing to so many. We will miss her greatly. When my Dad died it took quite a long while to work through the grief and all that goes with that. In time I came to a point where I could remember all the things I learned from my Dad and the fun, silly, and important things too! It is painful to lose someone that we cared about so much, in time we will remember the good times, the silly times, the serious times we all had together. I neve met Anne Pressly but I am a Chrsitian and I know in time God will heal these wounds. Take care! God Bless you and your family and little Sydney too!

Deborah
Christina, Thanks so much for the update on your blog. Baby Sydney is just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing pictures and for writing from your heart. I have thought about thie happiness and sorrow that you must be experiencing at the very same time. I am still saddened and sickened by the death of Anne Pressly. For you to speak of your faith getting you through this is most admirable. Enjoy this very special time at home! God Bless.

Hi Mrs. Munoz, Kiddo is so beautiful. I have been very happy for your crew and yourself. Having never actually met ya in person, allow me to say it would be an honor to hopefully one day meet the Channel 7 crew with ya included. I've been a big fan all of my life, and at 24 I still am a huge fan. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of y'alls beloved Anne Pressly. I am sure though, that when you get back I am sure afew of your newscaster pals at KATV will tell you I have been giving you all big support ever since the passing of your friend Anne. (at least I've been trying to help give some of your friends at KATV friend support, because I know how you all feel. I have lost loved ones before that still devastate me to this day. I support in the fact that ever since Annes' death, I have e-mailed some of your pals at the station to tell them of my condolences, as you have my condolences also.). I just hope in time with God's help you will have the strength to be happy and move on with your life to do what you do best, and that is be a part of the Spirit of our great state of Arlansas. I live in a south Arkansas community called Thornton, but since my serious surgery in May, I hadn't been able to do much. I care for KATV and am still sorry for y'alls loss. I know it hurts, but with time I know God will help all of you to be ok in the fact that Anne is not suffering anymore. I have met afew people in person who work at KATV but it was a long time ago. Back to when Mr. Matt Mosler covered weather, he came to the church I used to attend and he came once when my church had like a revival deal, and I also met Mr. Jeff Wingfield when he used to cover sports, and I admit both Mr. Mosler and Mr. Wingfield are both neat people. Well, sorry this is long but extending my happiness at how CUTE ya new little baby is (adorable kiddo), but extending my friendship-related-condolences at the loss of Ms. Pressly. May the Lord bless and keep KATV at the tragic time of y'alls loss, and may the Lord help guide the L.R.P.D. in capturing the murderer of y'alls beloved Anne Pressly. I wasn't trying to open the wounds again by mentioning her, but I wanted to extend my condolences. I'm so sorry, y'all. God bless and you all have a friend in Thornton, Arkansas (close to Fordyce). A fan who considers KATV nice people, Kyle P.S. I cried when I saw the video clip on KATV.com of when Ms. Pamela Smith almost broke down at the announcement of Anne's death. To the ENTIRE KATV crew: it will be ok y'all. God will heal y'alls pain, but BIG TIME congratulations to the Munoz family, from the Hearnsberger family. In the picture, allow me to say I think that is also an adorable puppy too.

Sharon
Absolutely beautiful!
