flashback

April 18th, 2005

This was our first morning home with newborn Lewis.  I love this picture. My friend Tracy took it. She came over and started snapping pictures. 'You'll want to remember this day.' she said. This one captures it all. I was giddy with awe. I love how the world stops when a baby is born. Nothing else matters.  Food arrives. Days and nights blend together.

Max was a bit peeved irate with the arrival of little Lewis. He poured a hot cup of coffee on me as I nursed that morning. It was a double whammy because I do love my coffee. But it was fine and pretty natural and it certainly got our attention as to where we might want to spread a little more love. Like butter on warm toast. Look at those matchbox cars. He never set them down...except to dump coffee.

It is, of course, pre-Della. It's hard for me to even imagine a Della-less world.

I blew this photo up on a zerox machine and it hangs in our living room.

Love my babies.
