Jack

When Grace was three she started telling everyone she was having a baby brother or sister…explaining that no, her mom was not pregnant, was an kind of awkwardly funny.  Then one day she told me there was a baby in Mommy’s tummy and it was true! I’ve never met a kid more excited to have a baby in her family.  She came up with all sorts of names for the baby, including Brother Fudge (I think we’re glad that one didn’t stick!).  One of her favorites, Jack, grew on everyone.  On June 15th at 4:49pm Jack Albert (after his grandpa) was born.  He weighed 8lbs 3oz and was basically just perfect.

I felt so blessed to be there when Grace met him for the first time.  “I can’t believe I’m a big sister!”  followed by singing…so sweet.  She really wanted to hold him all by herself.  Katie and Josh, I think you’ve got the makings of a great big sister on your hands!  Congratulations to all of you on your perfect baby boy!  And thank you for letting me be there.

Also, Grace used to tell me she wanted to be a “pratographer”.  Here she is with her “REAL camera” from Grandma and Grandpa, taking pictures of Baby Jack.  So cute.
