Speaking of babies...

I have been lazy about blogging the last month or so. Which means I am almost 3 weeks late announcing a birth (bad auntie!).

My sister Allison had her beautiful boy Isaac on Feb 2. He joins big brother Asa.

And if babies could be special ordered (with no ethical or moral implications), I would request one with the personality of baby Isaac! Who knows what he will be like when he gets older, but right now he seems to be the best sleeper & do the littlest crying of basically any baby I have met. Oh what I would give for a content baby who is an amazing sleeper! And while I am at the special order counter, I would have to say that Etta with her baby chub and full head of dark hair was a spectacularly good looking baby, so that would be on the order form too. But really, as all parents can agree on, what matters most is having a healthy baby. So many things can go wrong. Some you could find out about before the birth, so you might not. Some could take multiple surgeries , some might heal themselves, and some might be beyond repair. I try not to think about it because so very little of it is in my control, but each and every healthy baby born is an incredible blessing not to be taken lightly.
