Momma's Little Angel

"Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"
*The Dixie Chicks*

Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

This last week, the day our family - my sister-in-law especially - has been waiting for for the majority of the last year finally came.  Easton James Rodriquez made his appearance on the evening of Wednesday, February 20th.  Little Man was a healthy 8 lb 4 oz and was born less than 7 hours after momma's water broke...not bad for being Momma's first!!

Karlee was thrilled to discover during the first 24 hours that she has a little cuddler on her hands!  Sadly, Daddy was flying out from Colorado and was unable to get there in time for Easton's birth, but got in a few hours later.  I tried to document his first few hours and visitors as best I could so that Gabe could experience those moments as well.  

Visiting with all of the cousins....

 Is he not the most precious little boy, ever?!?

A friend of Karlee's made this super cute baseball-hat.  Getting ready to meet Daddy...

Snuggling with Uncle TT

And finally....the happy family!!

Karlee and Gabe:  I am so proud of you and happy for you.  You guys have a beautiful little boy and are going to be great parents!

Now quickly, I'm gonna rewind to waiting for Easton's grand arrival - because I have to show off my super-adorable nieces, too!!
