He's here!!
Text message to our family thread from Grace at 11:32 pm on October 10th (Thursday):
Our second amazing, amazing little boy is earth-side! Meet Leo Palmer Nixon Peterson — born 10/10/2024 at 9:08pm, weighing 9 pounds 1 ounce, 22” long. He has a perfectly round little moon face and is so magically sweet. 😍
Named in honor of his extraordinary Auntie Leah. They are *very* nearly birthday buddies and we’ve prayed throughout this whole pregnancy that he shares her same spirit of resilience, grit, appreciation for everyday miracles and beauty, humor amidst life’s ups and downs. 🫶🏼
A note from Leah:
Welcome to our family baby Leo! I'm so grateful and relieved the delivery went well!
Grace kept the name a strict secret for the whole pregnancy, referring to him only as "Jelly Bean." So my family and I prayed for "Jelly Bean" every night in our evening prayers.
I just found out that they named him after ME. 😭
Hi due date was October 10, and my birthday is October 11. Grace said she hopes that he takes on my good qualities. (Hopefully not the bad ones!)
I loved him already, but knowing that Grace and Bobby named him after me... well, let's just say there will forever be a special place in my heart for baby Leo.
I hope he and Everett grow up as close as Grace and I are. They're only 15 months apart, and it is going to be the CUTEST to see them interact and grow up together. 😍
Send your love and well wishes!
I'll basically be running Tiny and Snail on my own for the next few months (minus Carolyn and team who do an amazing job packaging your orders!) -- please be patient with me getting back to emails. 😅 Our last collection of the year will still launch on October 25th (so check your email next week for a sneak peek! I think you will love these cards!)
Grateful *you* are in our world too. ❤️✨

Blessings as you welcome young Leo into your family and our world, Grace and Bobby! Sending love to all of your from Santa Clara!
Leo! Welcome to this world :) My wish for you is that you will grow up to see all the beauty that surrounds you. May you choose joy each of your days. May you love fiercely and proudly stand up for your beliefs. This would can be a lot, so take care of yourself first, but always know, you have the power to bring powerful and positive inspiration to those around you. You’ve got this kiddo. You are so loved 🫶
Grace! Congratulations on your new baby Leo. How sweet. I’m sorry you haven’t heard from me in a long time- Barber in CT. I often think of you and Bobby and when I met you both. Your amazing card company with your sister was just starting! Now look at both of you.. families of your own!
It just so happens we recently welcomed a second grandson. My oldest son has a three year old son Logan and a new baby brother for Logan named Owen. Owen was born on his big brothers birthday on July 28th! Their mama was due that actual day but we all didn’t think it would happen! We are blessed.
I wish the best for your family. Children can not pick their parents- how lucky your new baby boys have you two AND your loving extended family. Take care.
Sweet Precious Baby Leo,
I hope that your Mama and Auntie are for you the bright and shining stars of love, kindness and encouragement that they are for so many others (including me)! xoxo
Welcome to the world, Leo!! You are a very lucky boy to have such a wonderful loving family! Stay as sweet as you are today!
