Piper is here!

Oh what a beautiful baby! I was in heaven in this picture holding her on her first day of life. What a huge priviledge and did it give me the itch... Rebecca and Clay are going to be the best parents and we could not be happier. We miss our families dearly but they help us pretend they are our Nashville 'family' and we cannot wait to watch this little girl grow over the years!

Have you ever seen a mom look this good after labor ~ seriously? If I didn't know any better I would say that I looked more like the tired, exhausted new mom in this picture.

GREAT DAY








We got wonderful news this morning about Grandpa Dave and then spent a lovely day today at the park swinging with Eleanor and Frances. Music was playing at the little cafe, ducks were quacking at us, snowcones were available, and the kids got filthy playing in the dirt. What fun! I thank God every day that I spend all these wonderful summer moments with Keenan. I made the best decision of my life to stay home with him and enjoy his growth during this first year of life. We have met some of the greatest friends ~

We can look at life differently today and take a deep breath, feeling very fortunate for all these moments. There is a huge peace that has come across me today - Life is too short to not slow down and enjoy every second.
