My wonderful friend Julie told me that yesterday was the first day of Passover, in which those of the Jewish faith leave their doors open to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah. The Elijah of the Hebrew faith was said to promise relief and redemption, to restore hope in hearts and to lift spirits.
Yesterday? We welcomed our Beth's Elijah. Open doors, open arms. Sighs of relief at his perfection. Redemption in the promise of life. A restoration of hope and faith and belief in greatness. Our spirits soaring higher than we could ever imagine.
He is here.

I read Julie's comment about that too. How perfect is that???
Welcome Elijah.. We've all waited a long time for you and prayed so much for you.
CHILLS.
awesome!
I totally just teared up at work. That little boy is so blessed to have such a loving, amazing and big family.
So beautiful. Your words and that sweet boy.
Me, being the possibly least spiritual person ever, am so convinced that this one has angels with him.
And I need to meet all you ladies. For real. :-)
Beautiful. Every bit of this post and every bit of tiny Elijah.
This gave me chills, so true and wonderful.
a beautiful boy, a beautiful name, a beautiful story... and YOU are a beautiful friend.
that was supposed to say 'your' girls. I already know you. and you've already made fun of me for this. But, if i could stage meeting you again, I totally would. We need to find someone to play the role of the stupid girls in our class so that we can bond over not being stupid.
So, so beautiful. Did Beth know this when they chose his name?
Wow, this little boy is something special...wow.
HOLY COW did this this give me chills. I am in awe of his arrival and perfection. His big brothers, James and Jake made it so, I jus tknow it.
He is perfect. What a wonderful day for him to be born!

Eli is adorable and so so special. Very touching words. Beth has a great group of best friends and that makes her truly blessed.
Wow. Just perfect.
Um, yeah. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. How PERFECT is that? Seriously, didn't she have the name picked out before hand too? WOW!
He is seriously so beautiful. Definately not helping my baby fever over here!! <3

It's true - it's the absolute perfect name for the season. Kinda almost freaky in a good way if you know what I mean...
Wow. That gave me chills. What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful baby and his family. Love!

Tears. Beth will treasure this post forever. I think we have all breathed a huge sigh of relief at the perfect arrival of Elijah.
That boy has no idea how much love he's going to experience in his life.
