Little Griffin Jude arrived yesterday morning, making it baby #4 for Dale and Missy. I would be a liar if I said I didn't contemplate playing hookie from work all day long so I could drive back to St. Louis to meet the little guy. This is the first of their children that I haven't been able to introduce myself to right away.
It's so crazy to me that Missy - perhaps one of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege of knowing is now a mother of 4. It seems like just yesterday we were both 18, having left the "nest" for the first time. We met when we became roommates with 4 other crazy gals in perhaps the smallest dorm room ever in the middle of nowhere....otherwise known as East Texas.
Time has flown by and now 12 years later we have gone through a lot together - traveling the world, lots of laughter and tears, weddings, babies, moving to a different part of the country together and then adjusting to not living within 5 minutes of each other for the first time in 11 years when Steve and I moved to Madison.
I couldn't be more happier for this sweet friend of mine that is such a wonderful mother, wife and friend. I can't wait to meet little Griffin Jude and see his brother and sisters ooh and ahh over his existence, just like I plan to!

Geeeez. Thanks for making me cry. I love you sooooo much, Bodum. I KNOW you will be an AMAZING Mama. I'm so excited to see you in this role. I just can't wait. Griffin can't wait to get a snuggle from his Aunt Denny. xoxo
