Way Back When-esday

My cousin Luke's baby girl, Morgan Riley, was born on Monday and let me tell you she is a doll! As I was looking at all of the pictures of her birth, I was reminded of the when I held the boys for the first time and the absolute joy and love that came over me as a mother. I think what the most amazing part is that you already "know" this person to some extent. I remember seeing Ben's knee, rubbing it, and knowing that that was the same exact knee I had been rubbing for months. So I'll save the "my how they grow so fast" bit for now. In the meantime, here's a few reminiscent pictures of those first precious days with our tiny boys. Mom, Abe, Dad, Ben-3 days old!
