My New Man

So much to write regarding my wonderful trip home.  Before I craft that blog post, I thought you should all know that there is a new man in my life.  He is handsome, intelligent, funny, and he weighs in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces.  I'd like you all to meet the new addition to our Nencioni family, Caleb Brian Rife. 


 My cousin Michelle and her husband, Brian (yes, we have a lot of Brians in our family) welcomed their baby boy on January 20th.  Michelle stayed strong through 20 HOURS of labor. 
I had a little chat with Caleb while he was still baking in the belly asking (if all was safe) that he wouldn't mind coming a little early so I'd have more time to spend with him.  Well, who knew he'd be such a good listener so early on?  I did.  He was about 2 weeks early giving me plenty of time to love and kiss on him. 

 

Taylor Swift has a song called "Never Grow Up" and a line from that song is...
"To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret.  I'd give all I have, honey.  If you could stay like that"
I think of Baby Caleb every time I hear that line because he has such an amazing mommy and daddy.  Watching Michelle and Brian kiss...and kiss...and kiss all over that little boy warms my heart.

Congratulations to the Rife Family.   
All my love! XOXOXOXO
