Christmas 2003: Ryleigh's first Christmas with Nana and Papa

Our Christmas wish for you  Is not a simple one  For we wish you hope and joy and peace  Days filled with warmth and sun  May you count your blessings, one by one  And when totaled by the lot  May you find all you've been given  To be more than what you sought  May God be your strength and light  May your spirit never grow old  May all your clouds have silver linings  And your rainbows pots of gold  We wish this all and so much more  May all your dreams come true  May you have a Merry Christmas  And a happy New Year, too … The perfect Christmas gifts

My Dearest Ryleigh,  You, sweet baby boy, are sleeping right next to me. At any moment, you could wake up and that is OK. You make my heart soar already and you are only one day old. You are so very sweet, beautiful, squishy, yummy, and angelic. I am in love with you, my son. Here at the hospital, where I am able to give you my undivided attention, I am soaking in every moment, every morsel, of your baby-ness. I hold you for hours, talk to you, sing to you, nuzzle your warm baby neck. I know that when we get home, both of our lives will get just a tad bit busier as your family waits for us as well as life. But here, in the quietness of this room, I am lapping up every single minute with you, and you only. You are here. 8lbs, 9oz. And the most beautiful boy. Handing you for the first time.  We are so in love.  Visitors: Nana and uncle Zach meeting you for the first time.  Shauna Papa Herb Joe  Videos...
