My first blog post

Hello to our friends and family! We finally became high-tech and have set ourselves up with Internet. So, in doing so, I thought it would be a good thing to set up a blog to keep you all posted as to how we are all doing and the latest goings on.For those of you who do not know all, here goes.. David and I have been married a little over two years and now have a beautiful one year old boy named Thaddeaus. We were married in September of 2004 and in the first year of marriage, while I was stationed in the army at Fort Campbell, KY., we were surprised to learn of the upcoming arrival of our little bundle of a handful and joy, baby boy. It was great to be back home to Washington, but stressful to try to get new jobs, a new home and prepare for a new baby. But we made it through without too many scars. On December 20th, 2005 at Madigan Army Hospital on Fort Lewis, Washington, we welcomed Thaddeaus Robert Kaseburg! Weighing in at a whopping 4lbs. 14ozs. and 18ins. long. He was a tiny thing! After my three week stay in the hospital on bed rest with preeclempsia and days in labor, not to mention that last night under the billi lights (we will not soon forget), we were so happy to bring Thad home. Who knew something so small would need so much stuff and give you so much trouble! Despite the nights on end without sleep and the despair I felt when I returned to work, it was a wonderful first year. We could not have done it without the help of our giving family. Grandma Kaseburg (Kathy), spends almost every evening that I work with Thad. We have her to thank for finding us the best babysitter we could ever have dreamed of, Terri, and their (Scott and Kathy Kaseburg) generosity to us in helping with the first year after our return to Washington. Thad could not have any better Grandparents than he has. He is so loved and has been such a blessing. It was quite a relief when we found our condo here in Renton, Wa. We were so excited to finally call a place home. We had a wonderful holiday season and with it celebrated Thad's first birthday. Our original date that was set for the party had to be changed because most of the whole area was without power for a week or so for some. We did reschedule and had a wonderful party with our terrific family and friends. It was great to have those who love Thad so much be there to celebrate him and his first big year of so many firsts.I can't wait to post some pictures for everyone and to give more updates as the days go on. Thanks for sharing in our lives and caring to keep up with us as our family grows and experiences new and exciting things to come.
