So the more astute of you have noticed that things around here quieted down a lot over the past nine or ten months, and those of you who click through the links know why… so I guess it’s time to come clean and introduce you all to the fruits of all that labor1:

That’s Annabelle, born this past weekend — she’s perfectly healthy and perfectly beautiful, down to the tiniest of details. Shannon did an amazing job, and we couldn’t be happier to have grown our family by just over seven pounds of sheer scrumptiousness. We’re slowly acclimating to the changes that a newborn brings to our house, trying to bathe and get out of the house at least once a day, and wondering how it’s possible to love someone this much after less than a week of being in each others’ lives.

Hooray! Welcome Annabelle! :) Ways that she is like cheese:

* Full of milk
* Squishy
* Good for you!

I can’t wait to meet this little person.

Congratulations. You’re in for an amazing ride. Your life, your outlook, and your future have changed in a wonderfully irrevocable way.

Yours, too, Jason and Shannon.

Do me a favor, though. When she’s three or so, and you have to fly somewhere with her, read this: http://q.queso.com/archives/001490
