"Honey..."
The voice drifted down to the basement where I was checking email one last time before getting ready for bed.
"We're having the baby tomorrow."
"OK, sounds good...wait, we're doing what tomorrow?"
"We're having the baby. We have to be at Reston Hospital by 7 am."
And with that, the wheels were set in motion for the arrival of our newest little miracle. Colin came into the world at 9:23 on the morning of December 2nd.
So here we are one month later, and as I cradle him in my arms I am just as amazed today as I was that day. Ten little (and long) fingers. Ten tiny toes. Two wide eyes trying to make sense out of the world around him.
He is truly a gift from God. I've always known that, as I have about Cindy, Brian, and Sean. But there's something about holding a newborn in your arms that transforms that realization from the intellectual to the spiritual. I sometimes feel unworthy of such an incredible blessing, but I quickly get over that by remembering the awesome responsibility I have been given by Him.
Happy One-Month Birthday, Baby Colin!

Happy Birthday Colin. We can't wait to see you in March. It's hard to believe my "baby" is going to be confirmed and 14 years old then. You will look at them with amazement even as they grow into their teenage years and beyond. Being a parent is so awesomely amazing.
