Well my older brother had his first child tonight and I am truly very happy for him and his wife.  Even though I have two nieces and a nephew already (I've been an aunt since I was sixteen) I definitely feel like its real this time.  Not only am I at a more normal age to be an aunt but I am happy that one of my brothers has finally procreated for obvious surname continuation reasons. As I am a female most likely my future children will not continue the family name.  That makes me happy and also because I have to admit I never imagined hans would be the first of the anderson men to have children...but that is why it makes me so happy.  It gives me hope that eventually all the crap that happens to you early in life might just balance out a little bit more towards the middle and hopefully a lot more by the end.

Congratulations to my Brother and I cant wait to see the cute pictures.
I will post them as soon as I get some~
