    I’d like to take a moment to introduce everyone to the newest addition to the family: Natalie Clayre!

    Natalie has one day, one hour and  fifty minutes of living under her belt.

    And she’s amazing. She’s so beautiful, I don’t know what to do with myself. And there’s something about watching her father hold her oh so carefully that overwhelms me.

    It makes me want to make such a beautiful soul with Brian.

    We’re so blessed to have the new person in our family.  Our lives may have changed tremendously over the last year but none of that matters when you look at this face that just wants to be loved and supported.

    Already, everyone wants to be near her. Everyone wants to love and be loved. Everyone wants a moment to touch a miracle.

    She humbles you.

    She doesn’t know anything about career development. She couldn’t give a rat’s ass about her daddy being a gamer or her Aunt Dorie being a blogger. She doesn’t know we dream about her changing the world someday. She doesn’t even know that her tongue is permanently attached to her yet!

    But she has her priorities in check. She is living the balanced life we all dream about it. Her only concern relates to when her mommy will feed her again.

    She’s smarter than I will ever be. Someday, I’m going to look at this kid and wonder how she knows so much.

    But today, I’m just going to look at this face and be grateful that my family has been changed by her. And in such wonderful ways.

    Congratulations Jason and Kelly! Your family is beautiful!
