We Graduated!

Long time we've been in silence, but here's one thing that has happened.

We actually graduated a few days before Caleb was born, but we didn't walk or anything because of money, time, and desire. Instead, we borrowed caps and gowns from two friends and went out or about 30 minutes to take some pictures. It was a much better choice for our schedule and time frame. I mean, in the middle of moving and having a baby, who wants to spend hours at convocation and graduation and pictures??
I love this picture..my wonderful husband with my beautiful baby...Caleb is 11 days old in this picture. well, in all these pictures.

So, Justin graduated in Industrial Design and I graduated in English Linguistics. We're so happy to be finished! (Justin got a few days break after moving before school started again at Worcester State in Worcester, MA.---more on the move later.)

I love my family!! I love all the changes we've made and the adventures we are embarking on together. I wouldn't have it any other way; and there's no one else I'd rather share it with than Justin, my amazing husband...he helped me finish, in all honesty. I couldn't have survived that Winter semester when I was so sick without his love, encouragement, and personal sacrifice. He is amazing!

Baby Caleb

Caleb David Anderson

I realize that posting without pictures is absolutely no fun; it's almost down right boring! So, here are some pictures of our little baby! I'll leave some more blogging up to Justin...these are just the ones we have from right when he was born! It was such a long labor! 29 hours! I'll sure looked tired for the next 4 days...never have fully recovered! But he sure was worth it!



I love our little "family portrait." Our family is growing! Caleb is so adorable! He looks so much like his daddy...just with much more and much darker hair!! :-)



Hope you enjoy them! More to come at some point. Just don't have much time right now!

Our lives changed in an infant...

thanks to Justin for the creative title...

Baby Caleb was born Monday, August 17th at 7:44a.m.! He weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He is beautiful!! I have a much better blog update coming, but just wanted to get the word out! (Just so happens I'm feeding him right now...)

No baby yet...

Well, today was my official due date. And no baby yet! I know I have to be patient; he'll come when he comes. But man! We really do have a schedule to keep to! He's going to be blessed on the 30th of this month, no matter how old he is! I just hold my breath any and every time I feel ANYTHING. "Is this it? Is this the beginning?" Only to wake up the next morning with no baby and no pains of any sort. I do recognize the benefits of having him not here yet: I've been able to pack more, spend time with my Mom, and just get things a little bit more ready. But when will he come?!? I'm so excited to meet this little baby! I just hope he comes soon!!
