After Nine Months of Baking…

our little man has finally arrived!  Our son Andrew David was born on June 18 at 8:05 am.  The labor and delivery went very well and we are both happy and healthy.  We’ve been home for two days now and are adjusting to life with a newborn.  Everything is so wonderful, it’s difficult to articulate – it’s just amazing!  I must admit that I wasn’t even home 24 hours before I was back in the kitchen baking cookies.  What can I say, it’s an addiction!  I’ll be catching up on blog updates in the next couple of days as I had a few pre-baby updates ready to share.  I don’t think my blog will be too very neglected in the coming month.  Thanks to a lot of wonderful friends and family, and the fact that I froze a lot of meals as well, our dinners are covered for quite some time leaving me plenty of time for frivolous baking!  Here are some pictures of my beautiful little guy for your enjoyment 😛
