This little guy made his way into this world early Sunday morning.  Born five weeks early, he weighed all of 6 pounds, 4 ounces.  He feels as weightless as a feather.

However, I’m pretty sure his mother didn’t have that perspective when she was still carrying him.

New life is always a cause for celebration and a new little person to love is a great way to start out a new year.  Holding a newborn gives a person a new perspective, causes one’s heart to soar, and for a few moments, might even take the weight of the world off our weary shoulders.
