Joslyn Renae

What a timely baby. Just one day from the original due date my little niece was born at 3:18 Saturday morning.

Janet was so great and although the rest of us were seriously tired the next day, as hard and determined Janet was during labor, she wins the prize.

I love my brother!!!! He is so in love with is his daughter. We have made him hold babies in the past and he was always nervous. As you can see now he can't get close enough.

It's so strange that my little brother is a dad. And so fun that I get to be the closest family around. (I've already had a heart-to-heart with Joslyn about that.) I couldn't help but hold her and think of all the scary things in my life and hoping she will be spared from heartache and stay as perfect as she is right now. Then I thought of all the wonderful things about life she will get to experience too and remembering that the hard times give way to good. I can't wait for those good times and I am glad she is surrounded by love and care for the bad times too. The miracle of birth makes a person so reflective.
