the Little God is lying on his stomach
sucking on his hands,
breathing softly,
his head flopping from side to side.
sometimes the Little God smiles,
even laughs,
in his sleep.
what is the Little God dreaming about?
maybe about us.

the Little God was born
in the fall of last year
on a beautifully gorgeous sunny day
with clear skies and crisp, cool air,
it was a potent reminder
that a change was in the wind
for the Little God’s parents.
the Little God’s papa looked in his eyes,
saw the majesty,
heard mercy and grace,
felt hope,
and knew devotion.
A life committed
to helping the Little God
learn what needs to be learned
about this life
so that one day
he can have a Little God of his own.

This evening, I held my six-week old boy in my arms, standing up as I gently rocked him to sleep. His head in the crook of my left elbow, my right hand caressing his head, with all that fine, jet-black hair. I am whispering to him as his eyes flutter and his mouth makes soft sucking noises.
And I realize that I cannot think of anything else I would rather do in this world. I want to freeze this moment, stretch it out and savor our own special time together.
I’m crying.
He is so beautiful. And I’m a dad.

No, I’m not talking about THAT amazing event, I’m talking about something else. Something even greater than that — when I say “WE”, I’m talking about what Julia and I did.
We are proud to announce that on October 9th, 2008 at 4:01pm, our son Kenzie Morris Thomas arrived in our lives at 6 lb 7 oz and 19″ long.
It has been a long, long road for me to finally settle down and have a family, going from one relationship to another, almost finding the right one a couple years ago, until I met Julia last year. She is an amazing person, so different from me, yet so alike. She captivated me the very first moment that I met her and I have never changed my mind or regretted that meeting since.
And now from the very short time that we have been together, we have produced this:
Kenzie Coming Home from the Hospital
Kenzie at Home Sleeping and Eating
This announcement is very late, but I do need to make it for posterity and for my family. I never thought that being a new parent means having so very little time for yourself. I now measure my free time in minutes, trying to time it every three or so hours between feedings and naps.
