New Year, New Life

So neither Renee or myself have put anything up here in a long time and we might as well start this all over with the amount of change we've seen in the past 6 months. Of course if you know either of us you know that at this point Renee is fully 21 weeks along with our baby boy.
All I can say is that I'm super excited about what he will bring to our life and really a little freaked out because we have no idea what to expect. I'm looking forward to reading to him a whole lot and teaching him how to be a good packer/cubs/gamecock fan (a wide assortment I know).
One thing I have been thinking about is how I have given advice to others. I've always that my job was to present both sides to someone so they could make the best decision for themselves... my opinion was not what matters. But now, my opinion will matter. I get to decide what my kid will experience. What he will see. What values we teach him. When to fight the battles and when to let them slide. So much to think about.
Anyway, I'm hoping to put more of my thoughts down so maybe one day my kid (or kids) can look back see what was going through my head when they are having kids of their own.

God bless.
