Eli is here!


On Tuesday, June 3 at 4:22 pm, Eli Adam Hester
entered this world.

He weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Even just a few minutes after he was born, he was very alert and was scanning the room checking out his surroundings.




Here he is with just a small piece of our entourage that waited patiently, and some impatiently, for his arrival.
Eli with Aunt Jamie and De De (Alva).

Eli and Ryan just before we left the hospital. All the nurses at Williamson were amazing and it was hard to leave these nice people that played such an important role in the first few days of Eli's life.




We will add more pictures later to properly tell the story of Eli's arrival.

Thanks for all the support and prayers from our wonderful group of family and friends. We appreciate everyone's excitement and willingness to help in any way.
Eli is blessed to have so many people in his life who already care so much about him.
