reality was only a touch away

criswell and i spent a very brief, but incredible weekend with erin and ted! on friday as we were travelling south bound, i kept reminding myself do not walk in and touch her belly. that is an invasion of her privacy and rude, i thought i was good to go. we walked in the house embraced and without even thinking i touched her belly. it just looked so sweet and it was such a tiny little bump, but very firm. erin has always had the perfect flat stomach so to see her little firm belly just makes this miracle so real. this is a feeling that is so hard to explain, but it just makes you feel so great inside- all you can do is smile for a very long time.

the next best thing to make you smile for a very long time is to watch ted hold baby t-shirts and booties and dance like an irishman doing the jig. he had so much excitement in him it was exploding through his feet. experiencing the two of them and seeing their joy and excitement was something i will cherish the rest of my life. and i am so honored to be able to share in this wonderful life altering experience. god bless and know how much i love you both!

hope, it was so wonderful to see both of you as well. we had a pretty magical friday night and saturday with you and are still reeling from your generosity. and i'm so excited that you've become a contributor to the blog! we can't wait to see you in july, when that little bump you noticed will be much, much more.
