I’ve added some more pictures…Jess and I are thinking about starting our own blog dedicated to Ella. I know, it’s pathetic.
We’ve started an Ella blog. Click here to see it.

I was relieved to hear that Jess and Ella are both doing okay. We can’t wait to meet our newest cousin!

Thanks! She already is the apple of my eye.
I promise I won’t turn this website into All About Ella…I know that’s the first rule of blogging 
She already loves it when I play her records, so I’m taking that as a good sign. She’s a big jazz fan, but also has liked female R&B singers like Ruth Brown, Etta James, and of couse, Ella Fitzgerald. I never realized how good the Ella and Louis (Armstrong) record was until I started playing it for her.
Ella is also a good football watching partner. She sleeps in my lap and I watch. She must have been a good luck charm cause the Lions won at Chicago.
And she just had her first check up and she’s healthy and happy!

What an amazing baby! She is beautiful….Did you play music during the labor? I’m glad to hear Jessica and Ella are doing great.
Bob was on the site, and told me Ella was on there. I can’t wait to be able to hold her. See you in a few weeks.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
She is so precious. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there.
Congratulations you two! Glad she Jess are okay. How are you holding up?
Awesome, about he music. The fact that she is already responding to music rocks. But then with a mom and a dad that are so into music it not all that surprising. Get her listening to some good old school ’80’s rock and we’re on. LOL.

Cousin,
Yup, I followed your link from MarkMaynard. Great looking kid.
For me, the first three months, adjusting to less spontaneous freedom with my wife plus sleep deprivation were the hardest (although, also delightful, I wish my three-and-a-half-year-old would still take long naps on my belly). Hope you enjoy watching Ella grow.

Christine, Michael, kids, Aunt Linda, Uncle Mike:
Thanks you for stopping by and commenting. We are really excited for Ella to meet all of you…..Aunt Linda - Justin just told me about the email about the Temptations record. I don’t get any of those emails! I will either ship it out to you or bring it with me the next time I’m up there…Don’t worry about the $7.50. We’ve got more records then we know what to do with.
I hope you all are doing well! Take care…

OEC,
Thanks for checking Ella out. Yeah, fatherhood is really something special. If you’re ever out walking with your little one, and you pass by 1115, feel free to stop and say hello.
