Meet Fin.
This little bundle of amazingness was born to our dear friends, Becky and Francisco, in late September. I was lucky enough to spend some time with the new family last week.
Babies are relatively new for us. With each new arrival I still get that, "How can we be old enough to be parents?!" feeling. Just like I have a hard time accepting that our friends can be, and are, doctors, dentists, teachers, etc. Maybe its because of the history, of knowing them when they couldn't be doctors or teachers. Or maybe it's the realization that, at 30, I do not possess the worldliness and wisdom I thought all doctors, teachers, well, adults, had.
And I have a hunch that the feeling will never really go away - just merely replaced with more milestones.
While meeting Fin proved to be another lesson in time passing, it was also quick to remind me of time present. Yes, we are 30-years-old-enough to be parents. But we are also 30-years-young-enough to break a collarbone while skateboarding on a half-pipe.
Here's to Fin, his beautiful new parents, a speedy mend (Francisco), and lessons learned while in Milwaukee, WI.
