AUNT Marie!!



Porter Dallin Ellsworth was born on October 3, 2008. He was a whopping 8 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long! Kamber and Porter are both doing well and are home safe and sound from the hospital.

Kamber and Dallin hadn't decided on a name before he died. But Kamber told us after the crash that Dallin used to call the baby Porter when he was talking to him "in utero". Porter's middle name is obviously in honor of his dad.

It was a bittersweet day but the next best thing to having Dallin here with us is having his son. Porter will be loved and adored and will grow up hearing all about how wonderful his dad was. Once again, families are forever!

Thanks for posting the pictures of Porter. He is so beautiful! I loved what you said about how special he must be to be sent here without his dad. It will be neat to watch Porter grow and see what a wonderful person he becomes. He has a wonderful heritage in both Dallin and Kamber. Congrats Aunt Marie!
