The Baby Has Arrived

For those of you who were caught unaware, Joel has finally arrived.  Christy labored through a little less than five hours of contractions without any pain medication to deliver a healthy baby boy.  Joel was born nine pounds and six ounces and 20 inches long.  His full name (now that we have finally have it figured out) is Joel Riley Kolder.

I’ve uploaded some photos of the last couple of days on Flickr and created a short slideshow here.  Check it out.
