a gift from above

Ok, I have been talking about starting this blog for months and months and have finally decided to actually get it up and running. I think the whole concept of blogging is great- it will provide a means for our friends and family to keep up with all of the new and exciting events in the Anderson house and it will be an online diary of continuous memories that we can print and save for ever and ever.

So I have been thinking about this first post and wondering just how to begin. What should I write about? The very first post has to be special and important, right? So I should write about the most special and important event that has happened in my life lately. That would be the birth of our son, Benjamin.

Benjamin Graeme Anderson came into this world on September 26th, 2007. I held him close, looked into his eyes and was overwhelmed with so many emotions. Through tears of happiness I could see that he was absolutely beautiful- a little angel.

It's incredible to be a mom to such an amazing little boy. He brings so much joy to this life. I find myself smiling more, laughing more, loving more (and sleeping less!)

It has been 8 short months since Benjamin was born and he has changed so much. Our beloved baby is developing such a vibrant personality. He is determined, focused and head-strong, but overall a very laid back and happy child.

I look forward to the future and what it holds for our bright little miracle!
