Estella,

Where to start? You were born August 2, 2006 at 10:27 AM. You were born 7lbs 15 oz and 20 inches long. After a long 14 hours with mommy hanging minute by minute you came into our lives. A beautiful shinning light of new life, bringing joy into all of our lives.

You are now almost 10 months old and daddy finally got his poop together to get this site up and running. Within those 10 months I have seen you grow into an amazing little girl. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t sit in awe by your brilliants. Every day you learn something new and start to recognize more of your environment. It is my hope that your family and I will stop for a few moments to share our times with you on this site.

You have so many special people in your life that care and love you so much. First and foremost there are your grandmothers. They take the time each week to spend time with you while mommy and daddy bring home the bacon. Without your grandmother Maria and Susan I don’t know what we would do. I’ll talk a lot about them throughout this site. Then there is you “PawPaw” ( Grandpa Bauer). He has an undying love for you that is truly special. I’m sure his posts will most defiantly be great ones. You not only have them but you also have Grandpa Dan and Tam. They are the most compassionate part of your family and you will learn many wonderful things from them. It doesn’t stop there. You have so many other people like your uncle Luka that I want to tell you about. He is someone that daddy really looks up to and loves very much. With time I hope to give you a bit of insight on all the people that will make you that special girl I know you’ll become. I love you Estella.

Always and forever,

Dada
