Minutes to Memories

Our church family welcomed another baby in the world last week when Daniel & Ashley Peebles met their son, Collin. I was in Arkansas at the time and had to miss the hospital visit with the family, but everything seemed to turn out fine without me. :-)

Daniel must be an amazing photographer. The picture above is one of several that I've received via email, and when I spoke to Ashley today, I had to know the identity of the photographer!!! She told me that Daniel has taken a lot better pictures of the baby than the ones I've seen, but they were either too big to send by email or of little fingers, toes, etc. that they thought nobody would want to see.

I loved the pictures they sent yesterday of the first meeting between big sister (Charley) and baby brother (Collin). There's a sweet picture of the two of them together, followed by a picture of Charley bopping her baby brother on the head (Daniel caught this one perfectly!). Last, there was a picture of Charley crying after her first spanking for hitting her baby brother. Priceless stuff.

Collin is still in the hospital five days after his birth due to his difficulty breathing, but he is doing okay overall. They hope for him to be breathing on his own by tomorrow or so, and then he will need to remain in the hospital for 48 hours just to be sure everything is okay.

So add Collin to your prayers, along with his wonderful family.
