Turn on the news channels, flip through the paper, surf the Internet, the same messages prevail: Economic crisis; future of the country uncertain; natural disasters; politicians slam each other.

As a friend recently told me, babies equal hope and optimism. When all of the negative news starts to overwhelm, I look at my son and instantly smile. I can walk down the street with Collin and a crazy thing happens. Instead of the typical stranger response of averting eyes or giving blank stares, random people break out in grins. They stop and talk to me. They're (gasp) friendly!
If only world peace were so simple...
That's all the deep thoughts for today. So turn off the news and enjoy some fluff for a change (our first summer with the new addition):
