Well, she did it. Ella Christine was born to Evan and Shadel on Saturday, March 13th, 2004 at 10:22 pm.

She came into this world after about 18 hours of labor… poor Shadel was a trooper through all of it…

Ella is a beautiful little baby (see all of the photos here), and very well mannered.

She’s passing all of her tests with flying colors while at the hospital.Evan and Shadel are being model parents, and all of the grandparents, uncles and aunts and everyone else are very proud of them and Ella.
