hazel grace
on tuesday, december 10th, we welcomed this little bundle of apprehensive joy into the world: we are calling her hazel grace. and she was 21 inches long and 7 lbs 15 oz. and was born at 11:20 am. i’ll post more details later, about how the whole thing actually went down. but, for now, here’s […]

the finish line. or not quite.
