Sara and I wanted all of you to know that this morning the Wooster Collective welcomed it’s newest member.

Samantha Lily Schiller.

She was born early this morning, 08/07/2007 at 12:32 am and I’m happy to report that she and Sara are doing incredibly well. 

In the end, it could not have gone any smoother.  Samantha was born at 7 pounds 6 ounces and looks absolutely adorable.

As many of you know, the last few months have been an absolute roller-coaster ride for us.  For months we were told by the doctors to expect the baby early, as they told us that the chance of Sara going full term was almost zero.  While we were always hopeful, there was a time when Sara and I had to prepare for the fact that things were not going to go as we had wished. But in the end, the incredible thing is that Samantha arrived three days past Sara’s due date. 

Life is indeed full of surprises.

Sara and I can not tell you how much all of the love and support from people around the world, most who we have never met in our lives, has meant to us.  Our friends Bo and Microbo told us late last year that the street art community was really one big family, with people all over the world in very different places and cultures all sharing a similar view on life.  That view of life is one that Sara and I have come to admire and cherish.

All I can say is that we can’t thank all of you enough for the support you have shown us.

Watching your own child be born is absolutely the most incredibly experience you can ever imagine.

It’s everything people tell you it it.  Absolutely breathtaking.

Sara and I can’t wait for all of you to meet her!

With much love,

Marc and Sara
