This week deserves a gold star, giant trophy, and olympic medal: MY NEPHEW WAS BORN! I can’t tell you how hard it is to be hundreds of miles away from my sweet sister at this time. Thank the Lord for Facetime. There was just unmatched joy in seeing her become a mother and finally glimpsing that squishy face. As soon as I’m able to get away, we’ll be on the first plane out there so Colton can meet his cousin! Until then, you can find me staring intently at his newborn picture and wondering how my baby isn’t that size anymore. I hope you have a lovely + relaxing weekend. xx
