back to reality.

Jared went back to work today...so sad. We have been hanging out the past 3 weeks with our little guy. I'm so grateful Jared was off for so long and able to help with Caden. Now, it's back to reality. I am looking forward to this new year ahead of us as a family of 3.

Caden is 6 weeks old. Although, it has only been 6 weeks, it has flown by. He has changed so much. We didn't realize the immense impact this little guy would have on us. We melt and swoon over him, typical first time parent behavior. We have SO much love to give him and for now he has us wrapped around his little finger.

Blogging has been put on the back burner since Cade was born. Being a mom has rocked my world. Now, that I am able to function on hardly any sleep, I am learning how to get things done throughout the day. So, one of my goals is to be better at blogging, starting today.

Here are pictures from the day he was born, better late than never.
(There were other family members present, Mom, Tom, Rhizi & Matty, Jocey and Auntie Cathy. I still need to collect pictures from a few people...not to mention any names A & T.)

my favorite picture, the first time he looked at me directly....melts me
