Blessed with FriendsFriends are good to have. And like it or not, Ellison has a ton of friends already. I love the fact that we live within a community where we as parents (sounds so weird to say) can have so many friends. But more so, I love the fact that our baby girl is already surrounded by girls and boys that will be able to teach her, play with her, look out for her, love her, and yes, even get her into some trouble.
Looking back over the pictures from the last 36 hours or so, it is amazing how many friends have already stopped by. I apologize if we didn't get a picture of you in the midst of all the chaos of those coming and going. Yet, I give thanks to God, that we can be surrounded by such chaos as there are many that are not blessed with friends like we are.
For those of you that have already visited, THANK YOU SO MUCH! For those that are planning to visit, we cannot wait to see you and brag about our new addition. For those that are separated by too much distance to come, we have loved hearing from you in your voice mails, emails, and text messages.
Below are some of the pictures of our friends and family that have been to the hospital to see us. You will notice that Ellison, as of Sunday morning, had to be placed under the LED Lamp to lower her bilirubin level, which causes jaundice. It was such a disheartening sight to see her helpless body left alone and naked. However, I was so impressed by the genuine interest and concern shown by some of her "new friends." Such compassion, at such young ages, affirms my thankfulness that lil Ellie is surrounded with wonderful new friends.

i can't wait to see her!!! i plan on coming with robbie next week to tulsa. i want to hold that precious little baby and griffin wants to meet his future girlfriend!
So sad we have not been able to come up-but you will be very thankful the Waggoner children have kept their germs to themselves. Three of our four spent most of the night in the bathroom-enjoy your little one and her 'little' messes :-)
Sorry to hear Miss Ellison and that her 'tanning' days have started early. I hope her bilirubin count goes down quickly and you will not have to take the 'tanning' bed home. It can all be a bit stressful and overwhelming when things don't go according to 'plan' and play out a bit differently than what you had thought. Ellison seems to be coming into the world a lot like our Abbie-be ready for a strong willed confident girl ;-)
You all are amazing parents!
