We brought Elliot home on a Friday. Glenda and Paula were there to greet us when we came home. They had cleaned the house and were ready to love our little boy!

Elliot couldn’t wait to be born! Not due until April 12, he arrived on March 26 at 6:19 in the morning. He was 6 lb 7 oz and 19 in long. We couldn’t be happier that he is already here!

Paula came into town the weekend of March 16 and threw us a baby shower! It was an “Across the Miles” baby shower because people mailed gifts to us and we opened them on that day. Fun times! It was also St. Patrick’s Day so Chicago was crazy. The river was dyed green. We also ate dinner at Oprah’s chef’s restaurant… Table 52. We had 12-layer chocolate cake!
