Presenting Kirsten Anne Marie Erlandson

We're pleased to introduce our daughter, Kirsten Anne Marie Erlandson. She was born at 12:42AM, Wednesday, July 5, 2006. Weighing in at a healthy 7 lbs., 11 oz. and measuring 20 inches in length, she is truly a sight to behold. You can't see it in this photo, but she actually has more hair than I do...I guess that's not all that remarkable, though, considering the fact that I've become follicly challenaged the last few years.

Both she and her mother are doing fine, although it was a difficult delivery. Laura is on her feet, but I think she's going to be in the hospital for another day or two so the doctors can monitor her recovery.

There will definitely be more photos on the way, but I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to see just how beautiful our baby girl really is. She is the greatest of God's gifts.
