For those of you that read the blog continuously, you know how much I love babies. But when they are a friends’s baby, and then a friend that I have know since childhood, well bring on the tissues. Jess and I grew up together and over the years I have been so blessed to watch her become a wife, then a mom, and now a mom for the second time. She is incredible and amazing and I am lucky enough to walk through yet one more stage of life with her. I find it such a gift and a beautiful blessing.
