tiny little bundle of humanity
strange to think I hold
a whole person in my arms
who weighs no more
than a gallon of milk
rain pounding on the skylights
is nice to hear at 2 am
as I lie on the couch
feeding this little guy

Welcome to the world
Baby Jeff was born on May 5th (almost May 4th). The Lord gave us a good labor and delivery at a wonderful birth center in Chapel Hill, NC. And He worked it out for my Mom to arrive the day before so that she could stay with the girls here while we were gone.
Welcome to the world, little fellow.
such a soft, round head
such a little man face
whom will you grow up to be?
welcome home
to our imperfect family
and all our inconsistencies.
O may God's grace be greater!
who are we
to be entrusted with another soul
granted one more child to hold,
to train, to nurture, then let go -
so quickly they say time will go
O may I not be so consumed
with laundry, meals, and daily life
that I ignore my little ones
lose my chance to mother them
