Elias James Powell


















Exactly 12 hours old.

Born Thursday, July 13, 2006; Weight 6 lbs., 2.5 oz., Height 18.5 in.

"Eli" for short. Elias is kind of an unusual name; it's the Greek form of Elijah. According to the Social Security Administration it was the 188th most popular baby name for boys in 2005, although I've never met anyone else named Elias. We just liked it.

This photo was taken in the hospital. That's Jenny's hand.
