Ellie came into the world! Our life has been nothing but joy since!!

Here she is enjoying her birthday cupcake!

We had a big party for her yesterday, better pics to come.

We got a message from our Lawyer this morning telling us to get in touch with her so we can discuss doing second parent adoption, in Florida!!! I never thought that would happen!!

We went to a new Disney store today and they put Ellie's name on the big screen wishing her a happy birthday. That was fun! I have pics. I'll post soon.

When we met, I didn't associate your screen name with this forum. But I said to my wife that I guessed you were "one of Jamie and Deanna's people" (Jamie is Valerie's daughter and this is our code for lesbians). But, of course it wouldn't be appropriate to ask. So, I hope I didn't come off as cold.
