The Eyes Have It

That beautiful baby is my daughter. We welcomed her into the world and into our family late Monday morning. Mother and baby are both doing fine and her siblings are very excited to have a new sister (I can’t help but wonder how long this completely unanticipated level of enthusiasm on their part is going last).

I was already way behind with my postings to TEHI as well as in responding to email. I’m guessing that things are going to stay that way for a while.

A few thoughts on babyhood:

“I don’t know why they say ‘you have a baby.’ The baby has you.” (Gallagher)

“Father asked us what was God’s noblest work. Anna said men, but I said babies. Men are often bad; babies never are.” (Louisa May Alcott)

“A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.” (Carl Sandburg)
