the beginning

Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. When you read you begin with A-B-C, when you sing you begin with do - re - mi ... Wait a minute, there I go singing again. Sidetracked once again, back to why we're really here.

Welcome to my family blog. This will be a blog to capture life's moments. This blog is meant to highlight the activities and experiences of our expanding family. This is for Will, so that some day, we can look back and remember every little detail!

Some things to note, I am a "researcher" by trade. I am a numbers person so if you see some typos, grammar or punctuation mistakes, you'll have to excuse me. My Mom (Nani) and sister (Jen) are "English/literature/grammar" people, so I'm sure they be happy to call me out. I'll try not to use "air quotes" too much, and sometimes I like EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! As I said, I am a numbers person, so here are some numbers of importance:

• 1 -- favorite Mom... you tell me all the time!
• 2 -- you were two months old when you started smiling
• 3 -- the number of  "us" in our family (4 if you count the dog)
• 4 -- the number of pounds you were when you were born
• 5 -- the different size of outfits we had to upgrade to by the time you were 6-months old
• 6 -- the number of cousins you will have by the time you are One Year Old
• 7 -- months... How old you are now. My how time flies
• 9 -- the month you were born: 09/29/2011
• infinity -- the amount of love we have for you, Will

Welcome to this world, Will. You are loved more than you will ever know.
