I know you've been breathlessly awaiting this announcement . . .

We had a new baby! You've probably read about it on everyone else's blogs or already seen him in person, but we've got to at least mention it. We've been enjoying Caleb very much. He laughs and seeks attention regularly, but he can also just sit and watch or sleep regularly enough for me to get things done. I love being forced to take time to just sit and look at him. The Lord really knew what he was doing when he made things the way they were. He knew that new mothers would need lots of time- regularly during the day, and even the night- to sit and think. Other than those moments of quiet, though, we are pretty crazy around here. And enjoying most of it. Caleb has already had his first vacation to South Carlsbad beach in California. He was a quiet passenger and only insisted on one stop every 6 hours. The sand and lack of sleep at the beach did not agree with him, but he was nice anyway. When we got home, I was releived to be able to give him a bath. We left our camera in someone else's car, so my posts in the next little while will be made with stolen photos.
