"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Andersen Lars Tate Poffenberger

Announcing my newest nephew: Andersen Lars Tate Poffenberger!!!

Andy was born on Tuesday, and was a wopping 9+ lbs. He's definitely a cutie. He joins a blonde as can be brother (Cody Eric Wolfgang Poffenberger) at home. They're a fun little duo. Congratulations to my sister Emily.

And for those wondering about the long names.... My sister Emily's maiden name is Greatorex, and we always joked that she couldn't get a harder name when she got married. But, lo and behold, she ended up with Poffenberger. Then, when Cody was born, Emily said she'd incorporate the family tied "Wolfgang" into his name, but they also wanted "Eric," Duane's middle name. When we all knew Andy would be coming (although we didn't know it was a boy until Thursday) we knew he'd have to get a name that was just as long and spectacular. The boys even have the same number of letters in their names! And Andy has a family name too. (My mom's maiden name is Andersen). So, here's to long names.... but mostly to cute boys!

What a cutie! He reminds me of Aidan, who was born 9lbs 4oz. They plopped him on my chest after he was born, and I wondered where they found the one month old baby I was holding! How are you guys anyway?

I thought for sure you were using secret agent code names again. I sit corrected.
