Welcome to the World!

My sweet friend Heather delivered twin boys yesterday, David and Samuel. I took this photo of Samuel looking at his father, Mauricio, while the nurses cleaned him up and checked him over. Each time Mauricio would speak, Samuel would open his eyes and look right into his face. What a special first-time experience! And imagine how many more are in store!
Welcome to our world, boys!
Sometimes it is great here; sometimes you will wonder what kind of mess you have been given. But all the time I hope you’ll know how special it is that you came and shared some life with us at all. To life!






This brought tears to my eyes. Welcome, indeed.
Oh Felicity… I love the way you write and speak! Even short little posts like this contain so much… wisdom and wonder and joy!
Absolutely beautiful.
What an amazing picture — and tremendous post! Very moving!
Ditto to all the above.
