Sweet Caroline

Who can look at a newborn and not be instantly infatuated with the delicate fingers and wide eyes that gaze up at you wonderingly? This weekend I got to meet my new cousin who is simply precious. Not even two weeks old, she is incredibly alert and absolutely beautiful. Passed around amongst admiring relatives, she hardly made a sound. Sure, I may have missed margarita night in Crescent 811, but I cannot describe how content I was holding that tiny body curled into me. Surely a cuddly infant is the quickest way to forget the stress of the semester's end and genuinely revel in the gift of life.
