You name it!

New Kid on the Ranch!

Baby K was born at home on Sunday morning, Feb. 8, 2015.

He arrived with a floating watercolor sunrise lining the vast horizon. At 8 pounds and 12 ounces, this strong baby boy mused softly in the arms of his happy mother and delighted father, surrounded by a midwife-grandmother, a sweet, rosy-cheeked sister and 3 kind-hearted brothers. And the jolly cattle dog let everyone know it was her job to protect the front door that morning.

I feel so very honored to have been invited to attend their family's precious time of birthing.

Gently Born

Auryn Horizon's parents welcomed him at 8:06 am weighing 7 lbs 3 oz, after his mother labored in warm water. Grandmother was there in love & their doula helped open the way.

Upright Birth

Titus Anthony weighed in at 9 1/4 lbs at 3:23 this morning -- a sweet baby brother to his six, very kind brothers and sisters. Their mother and father stood strong and determined as he was born.

I am still floating from the peace and joy with which Titus was lovingly received by every member of his dear family and how gracefully his mother gave birth. His Mom & Dad are fortified by a faith that blesses everyone around them.

Sigh.
