hudson oliver culp.

when did i become "emotional"? i was once a little blondie with constant bumps and bruises, the "little miss hit" as my sisters labeled me, what some would call a tom-boy. i would pick up random pieces of furniture and show off my strength to whoever would be impressed, in particular to my grandmother as i told her "heffy mama". and now today, as i drove from site to site, the very thought of my new nephew could bring tears to my eyes. i have yet to meet him, due to circumstances, but i know that he is a perfect reflection of God's love and faithfulness and a demonstration of the beauty of God's wonderful design in creation.

what a world hudson has become a part of. it is not without fault - there is pain and suffering, of course. but i already know in his first 12 hours of life that he is a blessing. hudson enters the world, a community, a family...and that is not just any family. (no, i am not patting myself on the back for our extended family...i am referring more to his immediate family - adam, kate, and alex) his mom is not just my sister, she is one of my best friends. she will fill that home with a joy that is contagious (she already does). adam's solid foundation will teach him to see the good in everyone, in everything. alex will fill the big-brother shoes well, and make him laugh through it all.

i'm sure that i will be updating with pictures...but for now, get your fill at kate's blog:

the maids.


nobody outcleans the maids. (that's their slogan, by the way) and better yet, nobody has a better logo than the maids. if you don't already know, i'm obsessed with "the maids". i would like to meet the individual who designed that ingenius logo. my boss and his wife recently hired a cleaning company to clean their house (our office is in the basement). i was so disappointed when it was not "the maids". i guess my boss just doesn't get it...NOBODY outcleans the maids.
now that i've blogged, my sister can have her baby...she threatened me that she wouldn't have the baby until i updated my blog. obviously, the baby would have a say in this and would win...but since i'm so anxious for their child to come, i'll do my part.
