the next best thing

This sweet baby girl is 2 weeks old & I'm dying to meet her in person. But, until then I'm swooning over the sporadic texts from her mama (my dear friend Whitney). The next best thing to being there.

Meet Mary Collins

here's one from last week. she's already changing! hopefully soon she'll meet her aunt kris!

Sadly, this isn't the first time that distance has kept me from meeting & loving on my friend's little ones. Believe it or not I have a folder in my email called "babies," for pictures such as these. They truly make my day! Here are some I found tonight while scanning through...

wyatt, susan & porter's son

me & caleb visiting kate, amy & eric's oldest

cason, steph & ryan's "baby"

sabyl, steph & ryan's firstborn (yep, I keep the pictures of the 4-legged babies too)
