This morning, Strider, Rayna and I went to see the newest member of our family.... and he's such a sweetie! Such a little bundle of peacefulness and coziness. And Karin looked remarkably peaceful too! They make a nice pair:
Mom and baby
We each had fun holding him...
And Rayna just kept saying, "He's so cute!" Both Strider and Rayna were quite amazed by their new little cousin.... but they were also almost as impressed with Karin's bed that could go up and down, and getting to ride in an elevator.
I had the thought today that we are very blessed to have days like this. Days that are just celebrations of pure new life, of joy and of hope. The longer I live and the more I see people go through, I know these days are all too rare.
As we left the hospital, Rayna commented that she really wants to go back soon. I know there are likely to only be a handful of days in our lives when we are happy to go to a hospital, so I will be thankful for this today.
Also as we left the hospital, Strider asked if we could not do much school today, because "this counts as a field trip, right??" Hope always springs anew for this child! (The answer to his question was a resounding "no," by the way)He is going to have his hands full over the next few years, teaching all these "sons" -- Colsen, Kai Hudson, and Branson -- what it's like to be a boy. Look out world!
