who knew this would bring me such joy?

What makes me happiest in this photo of our front yard?

Yep, it's that ball...the fun yellow ball that brings such great joy to Mighty Maxwell. What a beautiful announcement to the world that a BOY lives here...and a boy healthy enough to play outside!!! It's been there for a few days and it makes me smile each and every time I see it.

My boy...he makes me so proud. :)





















EDIT: Someone emailed me about the sign on our front window. Yes indeed that is our "encouragement" for all visitors to use Purell upon entering. :)

Yes Amy, I know the feeling. Messes up any chance for "normal" parenting, doesn't it? We're so overwhelmed with gratitude and delight - everything is a source of joy and pride. It is a wonderful result of having our heart torn out and left at the NICU, our souls laid vulnerable and bare...... we rejoice relentlesly! :o) I LOVE the ball in your front yard :o)
