Today was a day to celebrate life! We found out that we will be having a baby boy. And our daughter is going to be a big sister, very much like my own sister. We are separated by a bit less than two years. I feel thankful, and grateful for all that we have been given as a couple and as a family. And as I watched our son’s transparent hands and beautiful beating heart, I was filled with a sense of calm.
We took the afternoon to travel To Monterey and Carmel with Layla’s Grandpa and Grandma Brown. As our daughter explored the wonderfully curvaceous rocks of lovers point, and we pedaled our very own 5 person surrey down the beautiful coastal landscape of Monterey Bay, I couldn’t help but take it all in. It is one of those days, one of those moments, when everything just seems right. And like our daughter who jumps and runs and feels the cool crisp autumn air, I too am taken aback. And in this moment, I feel incredible peace.
