Baby Raygan :: 4 weeks old

So picture this...

It's the summer before 5th grade and you've decided to play an instrument. You choose clarinet. You go to summer band class to learn how to play your instrument and meet a really fun friend. You laugh and smile together, while learning your 'new' and exciting instrument... such a great bonding experience, right? Ha! So, summer comes to an end and you realize that your "friend" goes to a different school than you... bummer! You decide to become 'PEN PALS' (remember you're in 5th grade... that was cool back then!) So you write back and forth for two years, you learn about each other... very basic stuff like if you have pets, what your favorite color was, what your favorite food was, what boy or girl you might like, etc...etc... So after those two years, you decide to quit playing the clarinet. You are getting ready to start 8th grade, which is at a whole other school, a school where all the middle schools combine into one BIG school with the 9th graders before you move to the HIGH school. (Your school district is really weird... I know!) You are super nervous because this is a big deal... 8th grade is all about being cool, right? So first day, you go to your home room and recognize a familiar face. The face of your old clarinet buddy! What are the odds! You spend the next 5 years bonding even more and becoming amazing friends! Fast forward to today... that friend that you met many years ago is still present in your life and you now are experiencing many of lives greatest gifts together.

One of my oldest and dearest friends just had the best gift she could imagine... me home for a few days to see her! Ughh... ok, that was my gift! But her's would be, that she was just blessed with the sweetest little baby girl ever! Little Miss Raygan was born a few weeks back and has been such a great baby, so I hear. The day I came she must have been growing or something, as she was not too happy about the camera in her face, although I was not complaining because it was great to see my dear friend in motherhood action. She's such a great mom... and does amazing with Raygan. I love both of them so much... I can't wait to see how beautiful Raygan becomes being raised by such a beautiful family.

Congratulations you guys... it was seriously a joy being able to see and capture this time of your lives... Love you! Mwaaahhh!
