This past week a song has been following me. My morning and evening commutes have been filled with the song, Beautiful Things, by Gungor. I love the simplicity of the lyrics and the power they possess. If you haven't heard it, check it out on You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR7VOKQ0xJYI was reminded of this song this weekend when Kevin and I visited our new nephew Jakobi Jeffrey in Ottumwa. He is a week old today and is unbelievably precious, but I may be just a teensy bit bias. He came to us a delicate 6 pounds and 10 ounces. As I held him for the first time, I realized how I had forgotten what a newborn feels like in my arms. I remembered very quickly and I didn't forget all day, as he was in MY arms all day (thank you Brandon and Shamica). I did let Kevin steal him for a few minutes here and there, but I enjoyed, and took advantage of, a complete day with my brand new little nephew. There was lots of kisses, rocking, whispering I love yous, and TONS of pictures. Kevin, being the amazing husband that he is, gave me my Christmas present early just because of little Jakobi's arrival. I am the proud owner of a new Canon T2i camera and it was just perfect to capture the moments of the weekend. Here are some of those moments:
 |
| One of those few minutes Kevin held Jakobi. |
 |
| Jakobi doing what he does best...taking a snooze! |
 |
| Kevin taking a picture since I had my arms full. |
 |
| Sweet little fingers...only God could create this beautiful little miracle! |
