Visiting our first nephew

We’ve just returned from Columbia, where we met our nephew Ford. He’s so tiny! And so cute! It was my first prolonged (maybe first ever) time with such a new baby, and it was such a great experience for us. It is amazing to hold something that is so dependent on you (really on his parents, thank goodness!) for everything. It gives you such an awesome feeling of purpose and responsibility. Thanks so much to Jeff and Allison for sharing it all with us. He is a lucky baby to have such caring parents (who are able to keep their great sense of humor through it all). We can’t wait to watch Ford as he grows up.

Uncle Jason and Aunt Kari—Here’s a shout out from the big man in Columbia! Thanks for coming to visit. I really had a great time meeting you both. Hurry back ’cause mom and dad are struggling these days.
Thanks for the cool clothes and for visiting. See you soon–Ford
