We rose early, but in the few short hours that passed since Justin's birth, he had turned into a fuzzy, coordinated, little horse. Kimberly led Mandy out to her pasture, and though I stood by ready to guide Justin, he followed right after his mom.
I suppose it's a sign of the times that our friends were immediately pestering us to get Justin's pictures online for them to see. We didn't mind at all; we were very proud of our new baby. We even tied a giant, blue ribbon to our mailbox by the road.
As I uploaded the pictures of Justin, I was feeling a mix of "how absolutely amazing" and "what the heck have we gotten ourselves into?" Yes, deep down I knew things would be fine for our growing family. Besides, I couldn't stop smiling. It sounds cheesy, but it was truly a wonderful, wonderful day.
