Ready or not... he is HERE!!!

We're so pleased to introduce the newest addition to our little family, Elias James, who we'll call Eli.  
Born Sunday, January 8, 2012.


We arrived at the hospital just before 10:00am and he arrived at 1:55pm - all 8 pounds, 12 ounces of him.  (For a little perspective, Nora was 6lbs, 13 oz.)  At the moment, he has gorgeous blond hair, blue eyes, and amazing sideburns.  We are all recovering well and sleeping as much as possible.







More details and updates to follow in the coming days...
Thanks for all your prayers and support!

Love,
      Deanna, Ben, Nora and Eli
