Behold! Elijah Wayne Eichelberger, 8 lbs. 4 oz. of oaken thunder! He is beautiful, as the photos attest, and we are sitting in the late afternoon just looking at him, in wonder, with Iron and Wine playing in the background. Elijah Wayne Eichelberger. An intense unfathomable miracle. We are so blessed.

Bryce,
Your family is beautiful! We miss you so much. We're currently crowded around "Brynn" the computer looking at your pictures. We created this blog just so we could keep in touch with you!
Hope all is well.
