Kristen - LOVELY! As well the quote. When I saw your title I was like, oh boy I might tear up, should I proceed? My heart said yes, but proceed with caution. I read it, I liked it. I read your post.

Cute Little Man | San Jose Child Photography

I first met this little guy just a few days after his birth. (apparently it never got blogged, slacker!)
