Composed


The letter Mitch wrote to Baby Allegra the night before she was born inspired our freakishly talented friend Ben Howington to write this. Listen for yourself.




Day 14 Update:  One fun uncle arrived.  Multiple naps.  Multiple feedings (1/2 oz. every 3 hours).  One feeding spit up through nose.  Babysat by uncle while we went to see Levi be a warthog in his awesome class play.

  3. Wow!! on the song and letter. Is it weird to actually be a little envious of all the experiences you are having? Special and awesome times for a special and awesome family. We love you all!

  5. Yeah how would that be to bust out your guitar and write/sing a really great song?! It was a tear jerker of a post by Mitch...so of course the song made me cry.

    Allegra looks beautiful in this pic.

    Good times with Ky, Levi the warthog and lots of spit up!
