Aldens first Blog Post

Cousin Audrey keeps talking to me about this blog that Nana has and she was teasing me that at 5 months she herself wrote her 1st post so I better get busy.

This is me Alden Michael Krueger 

 

I first met my Nana just moments after my birth on January the 28th 2013. All I had to do was lay there, (which was a bit hard to balance since my legs would not lay down) and she cried. You are right cousin Audrey she is pretty sappy.

My Nana sang this song to me when I was just a couple of days old, I was crying and she began singing something about Grace being Amazing and whatever Grace is- it is amazing because even now 5 1/2 months later that song calms me right down.

You said Nana liked to tell stories and you are right she does.  My favorite though was when I was only a few days old.  I didn't want to sleep one night and mommy and daddy needed to rest.  Nana took me downstairs and she looked me in the eyes and said baby your mommy wanted you for so long.  she wanted to be a mommy more than anything.  She has done really well and will embrace motherhood.  Your daddy though, he was scared.  You see he didn't have a daddy growing up to teach him things daddy's teach.  He was afraid he would fail. Nana started crying again. (Hey cuz, does she do that a lot?) Then she chuckled and this was the funny part, she said you know your daddy said "how will I know what to do?", "will I just wake up someday and know this is the day I teach him the ABC'S?"  I don't know what they are so I am pretty sure that day hasn't come yet.  Then Nana thanked me.  She said Alden you proved your daddy wrong.  He does know how to be a daddy. I saw it in his eyes the moment he saw you, I saw determination on his face, I heard protectiveness in his words and I saw Love in his heart. Nana said. you see Alden, you made my son a daddy and no one else can do that.

This is my mommy and daddy.

 

This is me and Nana 

You are right cousin Audrey Nana loves it when we smile at her. It has been pretty profitable so far.

 

 

So I was warned about the photography and the outfits but just humor me will you?

 

 

This is me in an outfit that Nana's mommy made for daddy when he was a baby? I can't believe daddy was once a baby.  How did he grow so big?  I sure have alot to learn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is me with what Nana says is my blog thinking pose.

 

 

 

so after months of looking at each other through a little screen on something called Skype and listening to our parents brag about us, I finally got to meet you last month.  I love you cuz and you are right you are pretty cute but next time could you lay off the kisses a little bit. 

 

Anyway, so far you are keeping me up to speed on what I need to know and so I thank you for that.  I know I have a lot to learn but one thing is for sure we are 2 pretty lucky kids, I think Nana would give her life for us..... Oh wait a minute she just took over the keyboard.

You are right Alden and Audrey nana would.
