We have a new...

NIECE!!!  My sister, Dayna, and her husband, Shane Hall, had a little one this morning.  Here's what Shane sent us:

"At long last Thea (Tay-Uh) Annelise has decided to make her appearance. She arrived at 4:54 a.m. at a lightweight 10lbs 7oz. She is around 22.5 inches long, the measuring line on the scale didn't go quite far enough to be exact, and she was curling quite a bit. Despite it being the 4th, we didn't name her Liberty as several have suggested. As typical for us, it was a long labor, with us arriving at the hospital over two hours before she was born. Both Mommy and Thea are doing well."

Shane posted pictures on their site too.
