When your gorgeous friends have babies you drop everything to be there to capture important moments… that make you cry.
Entering the hospital I patiently waited for big brother to come with grandma & grandpa. Now if you don’t know the cutest little boy ever please know this, he is one of the HAPPIEST kids I have EVER MET. Yes. EVER. So upon entering I excitedly asked him
“Auggie are you ready to meet your new baby sister?”
His response … “NOO, it’s GAAAABBBI!”
And so it begins, the big brother mode that will always and forever protect this beauty.
Heart melted phase one.

We race up the stairs, you may notice he is in his socks … easily explained. You see Grandma was waiting not so patiently all day to meet her beautiful granddaughter so instead of stopping to get his shoes she declared they will drive STRAIGHT to the hospital, she wasn’t wasting another second.
Heart Melted phase two.

The rest can be easily seen, no need to narrate.

“BABY!!!”
He was so excited. I was behind mom but I felt the tears roll down my cheeks so I can about imagine how flooded with love her heart was. The look on his face …
Heart Melted phase three.

This family puzzle is so complete.
Also note again, Dad’s smile. SO BIG. SO PROUD. SO HAPPY.
Heart Melted Phase four.

Side note, again mom is BEAUTIFUL … SO BEAUTIFUL I can only imagine what sweet Gabbi Jo will grow to be.

If this doesn’t give you all the feels I am not sure what will.
