Introducing...

Hazel Ellen Palmer
was born on October 20, 2010 at 1:39 pm and was 8 lbs. 19.09 in.
with plenty of straight, light hair!
James and I love her so much. She's the most precious thing we've ever seen.

I think she looks like James. Cute.

Our only family photo right after... we were a little preoccupied. James was taking photos.

What a surreal experience.

Hazel is named after my great grandma on my mom's side, Hazel Isabella Pixton Paxton, and the name Hazel also refers to my maiden name Hayes.
Her middle name Ellen comes from James's mom's name - Barbara Ellen.
We love that her name represents both sides of the family. She's very lucky to have wonderful family on both sides, and we're even more lucky to have her as part of our family.

Congratulations to you and James. I love her name. Hope you are feeling well and everybody is doing OK. I bet there is a grandma up there who is spoiling Hazel like crazy.
