Welcome Elly!

Elena Kathleen Drury entered this world on December 5, 2012 at 6:01 PM. Elly weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces and was 19" long. Both Keri and Elly are doing fine.  I'm not sure how Elliott is doing, but he must be OK since he took these pictures.

Here's Elly in her new world wondering what just happened.  It was so nice and comfy before.

Here's Grandma Katie showing off her new granddaughter.  Katie flew out to Seattle on Saturday, Dec. 1, for a two week stay in anticipation of the birth.  There was some concern whether Keri would be late and how it would affect travel plans.  Katie and Keri took lots of walks to help get the process moving and they were successful since Keri's water broke on Tuesday (12/4) about 10:30 PM.   They went to the hospital where contractions progressed steadily until Wednesday afternoon when she was fully dilated and could start pushing. And the rest, as they say, is history.
