These are a few of my favorite things: Baby hair as soft as cashmere, big brothers who are wildly enthusiastic yet gentle with their new baby sisters, streaming sunlight in a newborn’s nursery, toy trains and baby booties, and most of all, growing families in love with one another. Erika & Dave gave me another chance to enjoy all of my favorite things this February when they invited me home to meet Evelyn Ida. She is perfect in every way, from her chubby toes and pouty lips to her stork kissed forehead. And like a lot of families taking a go at parenthood for a second time or more, everyone around her is just so darn excited she is here. Big brother Benjamin led me about the house to show me his toys and his trains and his artwork, but it also seemed that he is very much looking forward to a near future where Evelyn can play and paint with him, too. I suppose all I can really say is: at Benjamin and Evelyn’s house all is good – bright and hopeful and really, really good.
