The Circle of Life

Earlier this week, I heard of a horrific loss suffered by friends of our family - a young man, on the eve of his wedding, lost in a senseless and tragic accident.
Yesterday, we received news that my cousin and his wife were celebrating the birth of their first child.
I keep thinking of the tune by The Byrds, and the bible verse on which it is based...

To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven

We, too have special news - we're expecting kiddo numero two!
(This partially explains my weakened blogstress state, as I am very pooped most days, BUT I promise an update on Avery's room soon -so, get ready to comment, 'cuz I need your thoughts!)

Thank you ALL for your sweet comments upon our return to Brazil - ya'll make me feel great!!

Life makes no sense, does it? A sweet life taken and another one enters this world. That is incredible news that you are expecting #2! Congratulations! I was just lamenting yesterday how I used to hold my little boy, falling asleep with him during his naptime, rather than setting him down! I couldn't get enough of him! It's so exciting that you are going through that phase again!

Life, how precious it is! Very best wishes to you!

"Live. A lot. Unleash yourself upon the world and go! Go now! And fly free in the frowning face of convention. Giggle. No, laugh. No, howl as if you have never grown up. Understand that this is not a dress rehearsal, this is it! Take it all in. Yes, cherish every last rose and every single breath. And by all means, whatever you do, wear a really cool pair of sunglasses." -Bono

How greatl is that!
