aye is here. Weighing in at 5 pounds 13 ounces...she made her arrival this afternoon.

For those of you who do not know, this is my friend Jenny's new little bundle of joy. I cannot put into words what I feel when I look at her. I have been happy for friends before for lots of things...jobs, scoring the perfect shoes, marriages, and such...but never have I felt this kind of happiness for a friend. Today, I have butterflies, giggles, tears, and smiles all for my sweet friend, her family, husband, and her precious little girl.

Faye will be surrounded with love from so many directions.

At the same time, I cannot help but feel like a chapter has closed and a new one has begun...a wonderful one that is sure to be filled with wonderful experiences. Any time a chapter in life closes...I get sentimental. Heck, I live in constant sentimentalism (I don't think that is a word...but now it is). Jenny has been through just about everything with me. She has held my hand through so much. She is one person I know I can go to with anything and when my heart is heavy. And now, all I can think of is how lucky her sweet little girl is to have a mother who is so fabulous.

So without further ado...meet Elizabeth Faye...
