At the hospital

I know these pictures are just about a month old,
but I wanted to talk about all the family and friends
who were at the hospital with us to support us and
welcome Samantha into the world. Grandma and
grandpa Ellis were at the hospital from 5:00 a.m.
friday morning until after Samantha was born.
Big time troopers! Grandma Joanna, grandma
Yolando, Grandpa Manuel, and Cousin Lina all
came in from California and stayed at the hospital
overnight with us. We did not get pictures of
everyone who was there with the baby, but Samantha
knows who was there with her. :) Although the labor
was not exactly as I planned, the end result was better
than Anthony and I could have asked for. I want to thank
Anthony for all his support and help in the delivery room
and the 28 hours we spent at the hospital before Sam was
born and the two days we spent after she was born.

A visit with Connor

We recently had a visit from my brother Chris, sister in law Lindsay and nephew Connor. Connor has grown so much since the Ellis family moved to Colorado and we were excited to see all three of them. Chris and Lindsay have done a wonderful job raising Connor and he has become a bundle of energy and giggles. I can not wait until Samantha is Connor's age where we can see her personality and hear her first words, her likes and dislikes. Anthony and I were able to enjoy a morning of golf with Chris, where Anthony destroyed any confidence my brother and I had in our golf game. We also got to enjoy watching Connor at Peter Piper Pizza and at a Diamondbacks game. We were sad to see them go back to Colorado and hope to see them again real soon.

Starting off

This is my first attempt at blogging and my sister, Lindsay, has been kind enough to show me this website to begin my blogging adventure. Anthony and I are also starting off a new life as parents and are enjoying every minute of it...yes even at 3:00 a.m. Samantha is a blessing and we could not be luckier to have such a wonderful little girl. So let me give credit to Linds for helping me out and I will end my first blog here. Keep checking in for updates and pictures of the Romeros in Arizona.
