Welcome Zoe!

Zoe decided to be born at 9:17 AM on Friday, February 29th...nine days later than the doctor's prediction. It was a sunny, crisp day in Burlington, Vermont...and a lovely day for a drive from central New York State - home to Zoe's four grandparents! Alerted by Brett at 7 AM that they had just given Petosin to Elisa to get things moving, we gathered our things and loaded the car. We were just out of our driveway, a little before 9 AM when Brett said they were getting things together for the delivery. About fifteen minutes later the phone buzzed - stunned, I starred at a beautiful text photo of Elisa and Zoe. Newspaper and book sat on my lap the entire drive as I texted the photo to as many friends/family as I could and...simply stared at that beautiful photo for the rest of the trip!

All four grandparents joined the rest of the family about 3 PM. Zoe thrilled us all with her beautiful little face and her calm and sweet disposition! I was mesmerized by her... satisfied to simply watch her for hours. I eventually held her in my arms, rubbed her little back and felt her move against my chest. Hello, Zoe. I'm your grandma.

Your parents, grandparents, Aunt Christie, Aunt Kat and Uncle Chip are all under your spell. You've entered a world of family and friends who immediately and unconditionally love you and eagerly anticipate watching you and knowing you!

Welcome, Zoe. xxoo
