what i know today

you do slow tai chi like moves with your arms

your eyes aren't quite brown & yet not quite grey 

you have ears that feel like petals

your bottom lip quivers in such an unbearably cute way when you cry, its almost a shame to stop you

a wet diaper is about the worst thing

you are at the same time new to us, yet we feel like you've always been in our lives

you laugh when you sleep 

couldn't have signed up for a better partner than The Boy. How easily he has slid into the roll of a dad.

watching the The Boy teaches me how to love more, his heart is so big

your cry is unbelievably loud at 3 o'clock in the morning

I am not sure how I can feel so alive on so little food and sleep

{thank you for all you well wishes and greetings to our newest edition, he is so very special to us!}

    Wow…that is how I was feeling back in June of 1975…well execpt for the wet diaper…it was the other type of dirty diaper that I learned to dread. Jasper is one luck guy to have you and Derek as parents.
