Meeting of the minds

Once the dust settled from the surprisingly "early" (granted, relative) arrival of Caden James, Daddy headed home to clean up and get Ms. Blayne ready to come meet her brand new brother.

She didn't miss a beat- she came running into the room saying "that's Caden" and immediately wanted to "kiss him", "hold him" and "touch him".

Quite possibly the sweetest moment of all this was later that day when Aunt Steph came to visit us and meet Caden as well. As Ms. Blayne got ready to head home with Zara, she turned to Aunt Steph and said, "No take Caden".

We are so proud of Blayne and the awesome quick adjustment she has made to a change of pace. I believe Ian said it best when we spent some time alone with Caden Wednesday evening after everyone left and he turned to me and said, "Well, I may not be the luckiest man in the world, but I'm pretty damn close."
