The glorious arrival
Posted by David on Sunday, August 6, 2006 at 6:00 AM.
Well, we were joined a few days ago by a delightful little girl. She is everything we had hoped and more -- healthy, beautiful, and even tempered. I'll have to write more later once I can put it into words, but I am well and thoroughly gobsmacked by the whole experience.
Still not sure what her nom de plume on these pages will be. Her pre-birth placeholder name -- Beulah Mae -- may stick in the virtual world, though (rest assured) it didn't stick in the real.
I'm taking a couple of weeks off, until we get our group feet under ourselves, which means that the photo of the day will probably become very home-focused for the next few days.
This photo, by the way, was shot by Miz Becky, which explains why you can see both of my hands for a change.

I always cry when I see new babies and I'm starting to do that right now.
This little girl is gonna change your life in so many fabulous ways and you'll do the same for her.
A baby, any baby, reminds me to stay hopeful, to keep working to make the world a better place and to remember that there is more to the mystery than we'll ever understand.
What a great team you'll be, the three of you!

Oh, wow. What Stacy said. The tears are starting. Congratulations. Welcome, Little One.
And, uh...DAE, you have some *serious* competition in the photography department from the Miz.
