Ben got to come home today. We turned onto our street exactly 48 hours after he was born. That's the sort of silly sappy stuff that turns dads into goo. Well, that and havin' your little dude fall asleep on your chest while you're watching soccer with him for the first time, and you have EXPLAIN what soccer even is. I should probably stop now. Here, look how ridiculously cute my son is.
Jees - I just teared up.... must be something in the air!?!? So happy for you both - I hope you're looking forward to teaching Ben how to slide tackle, catch his opponent out with the off-side trap and... since he will proabably support Man U, the value of a good 'moan' when they loose to Arsenal (again).
Fantastic web site!!!!
Dear Falconer Family,
Little Fire Dog Ben is just about as cute as they get. Of course we all knew that he was going to be gorgeous.....just look at his parents! Great job you two! I'm looking forward to seeing him grow up.
Love,
Great Aunt Candace
O...M...G! He really IS ridiculously cute! Not gonna lie... I was kinda hopin' for the monkey love child so that I wouldn't have the urge to hop on the first plane out there. Why does he have to be so stinkin' cute??? I can't wait to hold him! Hopefully, I'll get my chance this Thanksgiving. In the meantime, keep the videos coming! Congratulations, you two! Love you guys!
Which is cuter... a newborn or newborn parents? I think it is a tie. It is great to experience all the newness and excitement through your eyes. It makes it a little easier being so far away. You guys are going to be great at celebrating the little things in life. How fantastic.
love you,
Kristin

Ridiculously cute is right! (I'm speaking of all three of you, by the way.) We can't wait to meet him. And the site rocks, Andrew. "A Baby Story" can't compare. Eat your heart out TLC Network!

I can definitely testify to the insane cuteness of this baby. I had no idea how light 7.5 pounds was. Holding him was like holding a little bubble of air -- and I'm not even referring to that adorable little toot I felt either! Andrew and Lisa, thank you for letting me stop by, it was an honor. Ben, enjoy your first night of the rest of your life -- you're a lucky boy to have such a cool home and awesome parents!
