Okay, so this news is a little over a week overdo, but having a newborn in the house is a little distracting and time-consuming! Tristan Kenneth Laird was born at 10:50am on Nov. 7, 2009, weighing 9lbs 4oz and measuring 21 3/4in long. There's a lot going through my head in regards to this... My life is forever changed and I realize that at only 19 and a half, no matter how mature I thought I was before, I still have a great deal of growing up to do. He relies so much on me... I can only be determined to return his unquestioning love and trust in the weeks, months, and years to come. He's my greatest work of art, and I wouldn't trade him for the world, even though sometimes it all feels extremely overwhelming.

I'm going to try to keep up with my art since I'm taking a graphic design course this year with the online devision of the University of Pittsbourgh, but with Tristan demanding a good portion of my time and energy, I may not be able to... Still, I'll try to keep all of you who read this updated!
