So night before last, Baron and I were laying in bed, just about to fall asleep, when he asked me to see the pictures of the kids again. Of course, I obliged, as I look at them about 5 times a day, and usually he's not around because he's at work. So I opened the slideshow up and it automatically turns on and goes through the 6 pictures we have in about 20 seconds. Very quickly he asked me to slow it down. So I had to open up the slideshow up all the way in power point, and we went through the pictures at his pace. He asked questions again (he wasn't there to hear the phone call!) and then when we started getting to the individual pictures of the kids, he took the cursor on the mac and very slowly traced the line of our children's faces, over and over again. Like he was memorizing them. I sat their and silently cried, a single tear welling in my eyes. (I couldn't cry loudly, I didn't want to interrupt his sweetness) Then, when he was done, he turned and looked at me (I was mostly composed!) and said simply, "yeah, this is good."
I thought you ought to have a look at how Baron was taking this excitement. I should also say that he danced and sung for a couple of days, more than usual. M (our Goddaughter) told him to keep singing, but then pointed to the kitchen.

Megs, that is so sweet. You brought tears to my eyes. I'm so thrilled for you.
I've been reading with caution lately, because seriously just thinking about all of this is enough to bring tears of joy. I am SO excited for you! But this? Should have gotten out the rain coat :) Watching your husband be a Daddy...and incredible Daddy... is going to be an amazing experience!
