the new man in my life

As of 4:50 in the a.m. this 23rd day of August, I have a new man in my life. He weighs 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21 inches long. His name is Luke (hopefully Rainey, but probably Ryan) Odle. He can never replace the first man in my life with a noble stature of just a pinch over three feet. However, I will love him just as much, simply in a different way. With extremely long fingers, a laid back disposition, and the infamous "Rainey nose," there will never be another like him. Maybe he will even call me Aunt Joy early on (as opposed to Aunt "Der"). Regardless of what is to come, I am thrilled and ecstatic about this new bundle of aunt Joy's.
