One week later

What a week it's been.

If you haven't read Julie's blog, you haven't noticed the big news.

Curtis Justin Bradly was born last Tuesday at 10:54PM. He weighed in at 7lbs, 6oz, and was 20.5 inches long.

Mother and child are both doing fine.

Some have noted that, for a life to enter this world, one has to leave. It's rather fitting that his great-great-grandmother was buried on the day Jessica got the official news she was pregnant, and what would have been his step-great-grandmother died a week or so before he was born.

Rather funny the way that circle of life works.




He's adorable. He has the most amazing laugh, a cry that makes you smile, and the biggest feet on a baby that you've seen in awhile.

I've been very proud of Jessica, for her strength, the way she's handled herself. She's got a fine boy there...for that, she should be just as proud.

And Julie's been beaming for the past week. She's gonna be a great grandmother.

Endings and beginnings, it seems. One life ends (in more ways that one) and another starts.

Here's to the next chapter in the story.
