We just thought we'd let everyone know we had our baby girl early Tuesday morning.

She's healthy and we're home now doing great.

We named her Ellaria pronounced {el- aw- ree - a}

It's an Italian name we've loved for a long time, the actual Italian spelling is Ilaria.

We call her Ellie a lot since Ellaria is hard for RJ to say.

Her middle name Phoebe is after my mom's (Sheila's) paternal grandma.

The Danburry Barber Shop is OPEN!

Drew graduated from barber school about a month ago, so we've been working hard to get his shop ready. A space opened up in my building, so we've been able to go to work together every day, and it has been wonderful. Today was the opening day. He had nine customers and we couldn't be more excited.

Love, Lynette
