Sorry I've been absent here... its been a very full week and I've found myself unable to carve out half an hour at the computer... nor have I had the creative energy to write something worthy of your reading time.
But I do want to take a moment to welcome our little nephew, Lucas, who is all of FOUR DAYS old today. We are going to meet him this weekend, and I absolutely can't wait. Its so amazing what the arrival of a new soul does to a family. We have all been eagerly anticipating his arrival, wondering about his personality and how he will look and whether he will be very different from his sister, and which parent he will take after more. There has been such an outpouring of love as grandparents and aunts and uncles (and of course his parents) all celebrate the fact that he is finally here, and we are so grateful that he arrived healthy and safe and sound.
What's been doubly amazing to me is to think that we all came into this world this way... with arms and hearts open and waiting to receive us. The birth of a baby... such a miracle, in so many ways.
Dear Lucas,
Welcome!!! I can't hardly wait to get to know you!!
Love,
Your Auntie Marie
