Welcome to the world, little man!

Willem and I have been wanting to create a place to chronicle Brock's life and keep our friends and family updated. Brock is now four weeks old and I'm just now getting around to it. Normally, when it comes to procrastination, I'm a firm believer in the "why do it now when you can do it later" mentality, but when it comes to babies...well, you blink and the next thing you know, they're getting bigger, smiling, laughing, talking, walking, becoming actual people and we don't want to forget any of it. That's why we're taking a billion pictures, saving all the artwork, and making notes on all the sweet moments. Besides, later on when Brock wrecks my car while only having a learner's permit*, we may want to review these entries so we don't strangle him. Until then, having a child is our greatest joy and we are loving every second of it. Here's to figuring it all out.

Brock Willem Malta Milo
Born on March 17th, 2011 at 7:13pm. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 20.5 inches of pure perfection. We love him more and more every day.


*Yes people, I did wreck my mom's car while only having a learner's permit.
