Do these things come with manuals? Instructions? Come on now – our $400.00 TV had a great book, but this dude…. NOTHIN!

What a transformation. 10 months ago, we had given up on the chance of having a baby on our own after 3 years of trying. Seems that when we put our money on the table to start adoption processes, sha-ZAM! Look who shows up to the party!

It is going to take a while – but it’s starting to settle in.

Benjamin Charles Gregory was born October 12, 2006 weighing 8lb 12oz, and measured 20″.

Now…. back to the hospital so mom can have some breakfast….

Gurgle-gop. Blibbity-gurble-ploink.

Yeah…. that’s about as much sense as I can make at the moment.

    Yay! Happy birthday Ben. You are very welcome into our little world, and you are super lucky to have scored such great parents!
    By the way – a little something from the Island should be making its way to you soon(Considering the last shipping fiasco that your poor mummy had to endure).
    Can’t wait to meet you!
