May 23 is usually bittersweet for me...bitter because it is the anniversary of losing a sister and sweet because I know she had a glorious homecoming in heaven. This time of year has served as a reminder that God can take lives, but this year He reminded me that he also gives life. God saw fit to turn a day that is usually consumed with mourning to a day of joy and celebration. HE IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. Jeremiah 31:13

You see, we spent May 23 with family as usual,

but this May 23 we were in Atlanta

celebrating William Carter Cochran's birth. ****WILL****

And now more pictures of my most precious nephew...

Mama and her boy.

I'm so excited that Will is here and that Marie and I have a new something in common.

A very proud Uncle and AuntGiving us the pirate eye. Our "CARTER" boys, 3 generations I love this full tummy sleepy face. I love this boy.J.R. loves him too. Precious Perfect Profile Mama holding Will.

Oh, the sweetness! How cute is this boy! Only 24 hours old and looks like he is 3 months.

He is going to be lady-killer. TOO CUTE! His lungs work well. The best Oma in the world with the best Will in the world. And the best KaaKaa in the world, too.
Sweet boy,

I love you to bits. I look so forward to watching you grow up. You have a good Mama and Daddy, who will teach and show you the way to go in this life. We have all prayed for you since we first knew God was knitting you together in your precious Mama's womb. We will continue to pray for you, that you will know our God and choose Him as your own, that He will direct your path, and that your life would glorify Him.

And I will be there to hold you again in just a few more days, so don't you fret.

Love, KA
