Amazing Things

My favorite song of the last 10 years is "Umbrellas" by Sleeping at Last.  I always loved the part where it says:

We'll bring a child into this world
And we'll say the one thing
Everyone should hear:
You were meant for amazing things

So, I decided that is something that Cade would hear.  And not only would he hear it but be reminded of it on a regular basis.  My dad is an artist, so I asked him to make a painting with the words on it.  So no matter what he would remember that he was "meant for amazing things".

Umbrellas
Sleeping at Last

'll make you mine if you would have me.
With a silver ring that will hug you tight,
Our life begins.
Our life begins with this.

I'll prove my love if you would let me.
Over and over and over again.

We'll bring a child into this world
And we'll say the one thing
Everyone should hear:

You were meant for amazing things.

Give me your hand, it's time.
It's time to show new eyes their home.
When fences divide our land,
I would catch bullets with my bare hands.

Because you were meant for amazing things

Cade is here!  Born 11/22/11, 21 inches long, 8 lbs 13.8 oz.  I included our family picture only because it is the only one I have of all three of us, but I hadn't slept since Sunday and I was to tired to care for pictures.  I may write one day about the week following the birth, but like a lot of birth stories, it might not need to be told - or I would rather forget.
