One of Us

If you know anything about my taste in music, you know that I am a huge fan of the singer/songwriter genre. Dave Barnes fits into this category and is probably one of my favorites of all time. In fact, we are going to see him in concert this Saturday (my first night out since baby). His music has served as therapy to my heart and soul over the years and he continues to do so with his newest album, "Stories to Tell."

As Briggs and I were taking a walk, I was listening to his new album that came out yesterday. Then Dave's song, "One of Us" started to play. I immediately began crying as soon as I heard the first few lines. While staring at my baby and listening to this love-letter-of-a-song, I couldn't help to just stand in awe of God's grace. Welcome to being "one of us," my baby boy.

Another blessing is that I was able to catch multiple smiles of our boy today! Here is the progression of smirks to a giant baby grin! I'm SO in love with this boy:
