For the first time...

I will never forget the pure joy I felt the first time I saw my son and now I can finally share that moment with all of you. Its almost been three weeks but we got Dallen's first pictures off my phone. We were in such a hurry to get the hospital and caught so off guard that we forgot to get our camera. Good thing we just bought a new camera phone. We just got an SD card online for less than $10 (the store was selling them for $45) to transfer the pictures to the computer. So, here they are...the very first pictures of Dallen.

The very first picture of our son

Meeting my mommy

Proud Daddy

One happy, healthy baby boy
(Turn up the volume)-Thank you Kenny Loggins

Are those your eyes, is that your smile?
I’ve been looking at you forever. But I never saw you before.
Are these your hands holding mine?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind.
For the first time I am looking in your eyes.
For the first time I’m seeing who you are
I can’t believe how much I see, when you’re looking back at me
Now I understand why love is…Love is, for the first time.
Can this be real, can this be true?
Am I the person I was this morning?
And are you the same you?
It’s all so strange, how can it be?
All along this love was right in front of me.
For the first time I am looking in your eyes.
For the first time I’m seeing who you are.
I can’t believe how much I see, when you’re looking back at me.
Now I understand why love is…Love is, for the first time.
Such a long time ago, I had given up on finding this emotion..ever again
But you live with me now, Yes I’ve found you some how
And I’ve never been so sure.
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I’m seeing who you are
Can’t believe how much I see, when you’re lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is…Love is, for the first time.

That was precious, Jacki! Isn't technology absolutely wonderful? Ditto to what your mom said about Kenny Loggins' song "For the First Time!" In light of a newborn, it is a perfect fit! That has always been one of my favorites! In fact, it is Dean's and my song! Love you guys and love getting to watch little Dallen grow via your blog! Happy Birthday tomorrow, Jacki! I sent your card late, but it is coming!

Tons of Love for all of you!
