Announcing!

Our little girl came to join us on Monday, Dec. 29th - on her due date! - at 2:34 am.

She is minutes old here, on our bed, with the caring hands of Joe and our midwife. She is laying on a receiving blanket from Joe’s infancy.

We named her Viola Irene Balsam Miller - Viola is pronounced like the instrument. Irene is the middle name of both of our maternal grandmothers.

Today is her 5th day of life and I think I am more in love with her every day.

Here she is today after gorging on lunch, the remains of which you can see around her mouth. Needless to say, she has had about 1,000 pictures taken of her already.

Much more to say later!
