Ford Jordan!!  You guess she would be born on October 30th and you were the closest.  Here are a few words about Ford...He recently moved to North Carolina with his wife and beautiful daughter and we miss them all very much.  We have only really personally known Ford for about a year but we came to call Ford one of our really good friends.  He was one of our Pastoral Interns and I loved it when Ford preached.  I miss your sermons.  :)  He made us aware that Portland has very little fashion sense when it comes to bow ties and we now are used to hearing ya'll used in everyday conversation.  Thanks Ford!  So I hope this at least makes up a bit for Matt's promise to say something nice about you instead did this.

Matt got her weight right at 7 pounds 2 ounces.  You guys already know I think he is awesome so I will just leave it at that.  Although I didn't know I could love Matt on another level until I saw him kissing our daughter.  

and Lindsay (Ford's wonderful wife) this wasn't your official guess but you did mention that you hoped I would have a 7 pounds 2 ounce baby so I will give you honorable mention because that was very sweet of you to wish that!  and I will just say that Lindsay is the most awesome person and again we totally miss you guys!

Shelia! guessed she would be born at 11:30am and you were very close!  So here is your recognition..Sheila has known Matt's family for forever and has kept in touch over the years.  She has been so generous in showering Allie with gifts that we feel her love all the way from Washington DC.  Your a wonderful baker and we love receiving sweets from across the US.  and we think it is so cool that you are able to get us White House ornaments.  We can't wait for another visit so you can see Allie in person!  Thanks Shelia!!
