Elijah

With great joy, I learned this morning that I am an uncle anew. My next younger brother and his wife are the proud parents of a second son, whom they have named Elijah. He was nearly eight pounds and twenty inches long. I am thrilled. My brother and sister-in-law are as well. What a great sign, as the natural world around us enters the long death of winter, that this tiny person's life is still at its beginning.

Here is a link to one more photo from the hospital.
