me and the light bulb

You know you're getting old when your nine year old asks, "was Thomas Edison alive when you were a child"?

Baby Caleb

There is a new Winter boy on the block! Tim and Jenny welcomed Caleb Russell into the world yesterday evening, after a grueling 24 hour/forceps/baby face up/cord around the neck kind of labor. All are well, praise God. Little Caleb weighed 6lbs. 11oz. and I am anxious to meet him. It's fun to rejoice with them and remember what that first baby experience was like. It's amazing, becomming a mommy and daddy for the first time in your life. Ahhhhh.

Poor Brooksie, his first year has been radically different that what Caleb will enjoy. Being drug from picking up the brothers at school to baseball practice, to karate, to scouts, to chicken nuggets again for dinner. It's just not fair is is Brooks? Of course it is.....he'll never know the difference and he gets to be adored by so many more faces on a daily basis. Maybe he is the lucky one after all.

Tim and Jenny will make stellar parents, God has gifted them with such a heartfelt, natural love for little ones. Caleb scored big by being born to them. I'll probably be learning parenting tips from them in no time at all. We love you and miss you sweet, new Winter family. Kisses to Caleb from Auntielle.
