I know most of you know all of this, but ya know I had to blog about it.  Plus, this is for some of our family in the states that might have missed some things.

We introduce you to Elijah Charles Keathley

Born July 22, 2009 at 12:32pm weighing in at 9 pounds 2 ounces and 20 inches long.

Elijah's Birthday

Elijah's Birthday

Click his picture and it will take you to a series of pics taken from first thing this morning til right now.  If, for some reason, clicking the pic doesn’t work, look to the right of this post and click on one of the pictures under “Our Pictures” and it will take you to our Flickr site where you can find them all.

Below are the videos we made throughout the day.  More videos to come, I’m sure:-).



There ya have it.  There are more pics on my phone, but the cord is at the hospital……where I need to be going:-).

I hope to get around to the, literally, hundreds of you who sent prayers, congrats and well wishes, eventually, but for now, as I’ve said many times today….

THANK YOU!

Praise God!

      He's not nearly as chunky as he looks in the pics…He just makes that face and makes his face look fat :-) .

    Glad new friends can join in the celebration! He is absolutely beautiful. It's the pics from yesterday that did it. He said "I'm outta here!". How our bodies change is a miracle from God, too. Blessings to you all. :)

    I am crying, he is sooo beautiful! Poor Ria, I can see her face saying, "Seriously, another photo hun…really?" But she will appreciate it later. Seeing E's pics are giving me the boost to make it another couple of weeks guys, thanks so much, I know ya did it just for me. Isn't God sooo good? I am so glad His plans are better than ours! Elijah sure is much better than any old Vasectomy, isn't he???
