The artist formerly known as Tackita is doing well. She is posted up with her mom and dad, resting after the birth. Thanks to everyone for the support and kind words. The whole process was pretty amazing.

This is Little Loretta

This is Marti Waite, our incredible friend, who helped with the whole process. She is forever connected with Little Loretta.

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful family you are! We, too, named my daughter after my grandmother. It warms my heart and is such an honor every time someone asks me the origin or her name (Eliza) as hers is also a name that you don't hear every day. You are going to thoroughly enjoy and be proud of that name every day. CONGRATULATIONS on your little love bug, she is beautiful. Sheldon & Annette Lyday (Judy's daughter)
