After 9 months of a truly wonderful pregnancy, we're proud to introduce our baby girl, Ellery Grace Pannier. Elle was born on May 21st, weighing in at 7lb 7oz. At 4:07pm she was placed in my arms and Zach and I experienced the most surreal moment of both our lives. We feel so blessed to have this new addition and couldn't be more in love with her. We hope all of our friends and family are doing well and for those of you who have yet to meet her, you're in for a treat...

Due Date Today....

....but no baby yet!  

Nine months sure has gone by quickly.  The closer the date neared, the more anxious and surreal the experience became.  Yet, with the due date having come and almost gone, I seem to finally feel calm and at peace with the reality of being a father.  

Ali's pregnancy has gone incredibly smooth.  She's had the normal back aches and swollen feet, but overall has had a very pleasant experience.  Did I mention she's a beautiful pregnant woman?

I know it's been quite a while sine anything was last posted, things have been quite hectic the last few months.  Here are a few photos we (i.e. Ali's mom) took over the weekend documenting Ali's progress.
