Introduction
You all got to meet my niece, Darby, this
past Wednesday. I have had lots of pretend nieces and nephews, but it was very
cool to spend some time with my only real one. Incidentally, I had the same
effect holding her that I do preaching to you – I put her right to sleep!
You all know that I have joked that my
sister-in-law Kelli and her husband Ryan timed having Darby just to steal the
spotlight away from Kristi and me, since she was born just a few weeks after we
were married. But they had waited a long time to have a child, so it just made
that time of year even more special for all of us.
