SIMPLY WONDERFUL

We drove over to Floresville yesterday, to visit with our friends Paula and Tim, and to meet their new grandson, Wyatt Lee Sanford.
It has been a very, very long time since I have held a living thing this tiny!  It felt rather strange and awkward at first, but then muscle memory kicked in, and I found myself swaying to old rhythms, humming old tunes, gazing in awe at unbelievably tiny fingers and toes -- wondering, is it really possible that Austin and Alexis were once this tiny?

These two guys are wondering "Who the heck is this tiny interloper, and who made him King of the Universe?!!




Simple things that fill you with wonder?
Simply Wonderful!

Aww, great post. I love the doggie expressions. Those of us with no grandkids yet understand your awe at such tiny perfection. In the meantime, rain in central Houston this afternoon. Now if it could just happen in the Austin area (Barton Creek). Drove thru Bastrop Saturday, so sad.

We got almost half an inch Marguerite, over two days. Every little bit helps!
