Nicu, 1 month

My little man, Nicolae (Nicu), is one month today. My, how the time has flown. If time continues to fly at this pace, I'm afraid he'll be off to school before I know it. And then in high school when I wake up the next day. And then, I'll have that emptiness in my heart because he'll be off getting married and starting a life of his own. He's a ray of light in my and Lisa's life. Happy Birthday, sweet Nicu.

A Grandfather's loving touch...

What people have always said about a sleeping baby is true. There's nothing more calming. Maybe it's because they feel safe and therefore they allow their body to relax, knowing they're in safe hands. Loving hands. Hands that will only care for them. I love this image of my father holding Nicu when he was only six or seven days old. Fully at peace with the world. May he always know that kind of peace in his life.
