Last night was the Tale of Two Arrivals. Our arrival home from a family vacation in Phoenix, Arizona, was paralleled by another arrival. As we awaited our plane at the Phoenix airport, my sister in law Kristin was getting settled in a delivery ward at a hospital in Omaha. I haven’t heard the full story yet, so I can’t embellish this blog entry too richly, but I know the story’s outcome.
At 12:50am on September 27, about the same time I was finally laying my head down on my own pillow in my own bed, Madeleine Mae Lawton made her way into the world. My dear big brother became a father in an instant to a beautiful 8lb, 4oz, 20.5 inches long baby girl! Congratulations to Kris and Adam!! I can’t wait to love on my first niece.
Quick update: Kristin, Adam and Madeleine are all doing really well. Adam and Kris are natural parents — they look like they’ve been at the nursing, diapering, loving baby gig for a lifetime. And, of course, Madeleine is beautiful.
