On December 23, 2012 at 7:57 p.m. our little baby Aubrey was born.  At seven pounds seven ounces and twenty and a half inches this little bundle of joy came into our lives and changed us for the better.  Nine months prior when we discovered that we were going to be having a baby we knew that our lives would never be the same.  As my wife thought about what clothes to get her and how to decorate the baby room, all I could think about is how I was going to bring in enough money to support my family.  How was I going to be the father and husband my family expected me to be?  Having a baby is not easy and is definitely not cheap!  However, when this little girl came into our lives all our worries seemed to just disappear.  No matter how hard it can get we seem to always find a way to get through and stay together.  We love Aubrey so much and it feels like we’ve always had her with us.  There is nothing like coming home and seeing her crawl towards you and try to climb your leg, or dance at the sound of music, or say your name over the speaker system between our rooms.  We love watching her grow and develop her own personality and traits.  Seeing her grow makes me forget all about the worries and stressful things happening all around me.  Coming home is like a safe haven knowing that I can be with my family.
