Thursday Thinking - "Babies are such a nice way to start people . . . "

A miracle happened this week in our family.  

On May 12, This little family of four became a family of five.

I love this picture of her on Michelle's chest and the wedding ring hanging from a chain around Michelle's neck.
Michelle texted soon after she was born:  "It's pretty cool how quickly (she) relaxed when (she) got put on (my) chest.
She went right to sleep. And pooped on me."

Welcome to the world baby girl!  Our family got better the day you were born.  

Thank you for getting her here Ty and Michelle.

Her name is Kathryn Cali Payne.  She is named after Michelle's mother, Kathy, and Cali.  Two of my heroes and women I love very much.

Three little girls.  Such a pretty and fun little family.

There is no danger she won't be loved.
