Aunt Jenny spent the day at the hospital

Miles is one day old.
He is fantastic and I got to hold him for a long time today. Tiny baby, so cute and little, making the sweetest little gurgling noises. He is a beautiful little boy. I can't wait to watch him grow, but at the same time I hope it does not happen too fast. Today we started the afternoon with some lunch from the Sojourner and then we toasted to the new baby. I brought the special bottle of Cristal (courtesy of the Vogels) that we had been saving for a special occasion. Grandpa Secord made a nice toast to the proud parents.

Afterwards, I showed Lara a slideshow of some of the best images taken before and after the birth of Miles. We all got a little teary as The Album Leaf soundtrack perfectly presented the photos I had taken the day before. I feel so happy to be a part of this experience for Lara and Robert.

The bonds that exist between Lara and I feel stronger than they ever have, while my appreciation of Robert is growing daily. I love them both very much and I'm so pleased that I know I will only be seeing more of them, and Miles as the years go by. They are so lucky to have found eachother. Thank god they moved back to Santa Barbara! More details tomorrow.
