A new arrival

I love spring. It's so full of expectation and hope and joy.

Today the sky was filled with clouds and thunderstorms filled the day. In between episodes of rain, our first glimpses of robins came as they searched for food in the wet grass.

It was a promising reminder that spring is just around the corner.

And along with approaching spring has come the arrival of my nephew, Theodore William Kyhn.

He was born on March 3, measuring 9 1/2 lbs and 21 inches.

As it goes with most labor, there are lots of twists and turns in the difficult journey to encompassing  love that is the inevitable conclusion, but Cydney did an amazing job and Theo is here, ready to carry on the Kyhn name.

From the reports I've received, Audrey is completely fascinated and in awe of her little brother.

And my little brother is now a dad of two.

Sweet Theo.

I can hardly wait to kiss those little cheeks and inhale that yummy baby smell.
