There are only a handful of truly epic moments in a lifetime. Yesterday I got to experience what will be one of my favorite memories; the birth of my best friend's baby. Lauren and I have been best friends since she saved me a spot in dance class when we were about 3 years old. Since then, we have been sisters with an unbreakable bond. Her family is my family.  I am so happy that she met the man of her dreams, Dan. He is everything I could have hand picked for my best friend, and the perfect daddy to baby Elliott. The pile full of tissues in front of my computer screen while editing pretty much sums up how I feel about this. 

Congratulations Lauren and Danny, and WELCOME TO THE WORLD my little nephew! Sweet Elliott Chase Schindler.... you are already loved by so many!
