Okay, here is the official news.
Elijah Ryan Dennis was born on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 at 3:18 am.
He weighed 7 pounds 14.9 ounces and was 20 inches long. He has a full head of dark hair, brown eyes and looks kind of puzzled about the whole deal!
I guess they’ve decided he’s a keeper! 😉

in case it didn’t carry that far, what with the prevailing winds and all, let me say, here and now, “woohoo!”
congrats, all — our best thoughts and prayers are yours, of course!
