Ririe Ruth

After missing out on the past 5 babies born in our family (and being "alone" - no offense Eric :) - for my own last 2 deliveries), I finally got to be involved again in the awesome experience of welcoming a new little spirit into our family!  My little sis Mindy had a beautiful baby girl in early January and I had the privilege of being there for her delivery.  I love childbirth.  Call me weird but I just love it.  It's one of the most intense and yet spiritual experiences we will have here on earth.  When I was working, I genuinely loved witnessing the renewal of life through childbirth, strangers or not.  But when it involves loved ones?  It's a heart-in-your-throat moment that can't be described.  Needless to say I was thrilled to be there for my sister and help her welcome her sweet little baby girl into the world!  She is just a doll - a little dark-haired, chubby-cheeked, precious darling.  I already love her so much! Congratulations Mindy and Griff!!



That's just 4 granddaughters for Grammy and Papa - so excited!

Nyah is in love with Ririe!

Oh I love the way you described being at a sister's childbirth. It is a heart-in-your-throat experience. It was a gift to have you there, Baba. I missed you so much when Colt was born. And I can't wait to be there when your next child is born. I love you so much, and I feel so grateful to have you near me again. You have been a blessing and a comfort! I love you. And I love that sweet, chubby baby of mine too. (:
