An Ode to Erin Jones

My sister has given birth to her 7th child today and I want to take this opportunity to give all the congradulations that I can! Here's a little poem I found:

The Welcome

Little fingers curl up tight to make a tiny fist,
As fairy lips purse out as if to make a gentle kiss. . .
Eyes, wide as a kitten's, and little button nose,
You look like someone's angel--down to your pudgy toes. . .

Although you are so wrinkled and your face is still so pale,
And the only song you seem to know sounds like a shrilling wail,
When you are here before me, finally, I feel complete.
I've waited so long, sweetheart. . . at last, we finally meet.

I must say that Brinley will be a great addition to the family and we're happy that she's here. Good luck!...If I had a picture I would post it.

You guys are fabulous!! We'll send you over some pictures as soon as we download them, she looks a lot like Sydney and has been, from the very start, very patient. Hopefully you'll get a chance to see her soon, we miss you guys!
