Reilly is born

Wow!!!

After nine long months, the wait is finally over, and our daughter was born on August 7th, 2005 at 12:05 PM. She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. 6 lbs, 4 oz of pure heaven.

My initial reaction is of complete reverence for life, and the mystical powers of my wife Maren. I am amazed, and immediatly in love. Words cannot describe all the feelings I have had in the first week or so of her life. I do know that I am happier than I have ever been and more complete. I love being a father.

Reilly Ailish DeGraff, I welcome you to our world. May I give you love, hope, compassion, joy, laughter, insight, and empathy. I love you!
