Yesterday started with snow and a peaceful walk with my dog. It ended with meeting our friends' new baby Kayleigh. Sandwiched between those beautiful moments there was a whole lot of Monday going on. A whole lot of deadlines and meetings and thinking and brain storming and problem solving and problem making and dealing with people and general work.
But the moment I touched Kayleigh's so smooth baby skin, smelled her newness and heard her perfect coos it made the rest stop. It was a collision, a halt, a fizzle and pop and then a nothingness. In her newness I was rewinded, taken back to the stillness of a morning walk and the picture of the swirling snow covering the gray landscape.
So today and always I am thankful for, simply and purely, life.

Ohh ... Meggy ... that's so sweet! I'm glad our little one could provide you with a God moment. We're recognizing them too ... admist the umm "adjustment period" shall we say :)
Steve just mentioned yesterday that since Kayleigh's one month is tomorrow (already, I know!!!) that we are in need of an Aunt Meg cuteness re-evaluation ... Thus, we need to see you ... SOON :)

Kristi and Kayleigh
