Hello World





It's fascinating how life can change in the matter of a few seconds. Peyton Rhett joined us on July 19th at 2:45 in the morning. 8 pounds, 13 ounces and 21.5 inches long we have been blessed with a healthy baby.

Peyton is now 100 hours old. I was in love with him before I ever saw him and this love only grew the first time I got to hold him in my arms. Peyton, I love the many faces you make when you are wide awake and sound asleep. It makes me wonder what you are thinking. I love the way you get startled at loud noises. It tells me that you have been blessed with the ability to hear the world around you. I love the way you lock your eyes on mine and focus for those few precious moments making me feel like you know I'm your mommy. I love the way that your little fingers tightly clasp mine. It is as if you are saying, "keep me safe." I love watching you in your dad's arms. Those are my two men who I'd be lost without!
