    Breitlahn is now over three weeks old, and she’s been having a grand old time. She attended her very own baby shower, a wedding (congrats Aftiana), went on her first elevator ride, and had her first visit (of many to come) to Makoshika State Park.

    She’s had fun trying on a few of the outfits she received, and I think my favorite so far is her giraffe hat from Aunt Stephie.

    Oscar and Judy came over for the shower too, and they’ve got more pictures over at shutterfly. With all the family around, especially great-grand-parents, we had to take some family pictures too, and we’ve got a few with four generations. I’m sure there will be more to come, as we have more family here this weekend.

    Welcome to the world, our home, and our family, Breitlahn Maëlle.

    It’s been quiet on the “western front” for a while, and that’s because we’ve been busy working on the baby’s nursery the last month or so. My wife did an amazing mural, and I put together furniture, and put up a lot of the decor. It was a load of fun, and turned out really nice. Now we just need a baby to put in it…

  • Jesusmas 2009

    It’s really easy to forget what Christmas is all about, so the title is an extra reminder. We had a great Christmas, and while I got some really nice gifts, my dad had one of those moments again. He said, “we need to be thankful for friends and family, that’s what’s really important, not all the material stuff.” Don’t know if I can really expand on that too much, but I just want to take a moment to mention some of the ‘important’ things I’m thankful for before I post some pictures of all the presents and such. I’m thankful for my wife, and my parents, and my sister, and my cousins (all of them, even Afton…). I’m thankful for the little girl that’s on the way, and I’m thankful for my friends, at work, at church, and anywhere else. And I’m thankful for Scooter, Roo, and Oliver.

    It’s a girl! And not a puppy this time. As mentioned before, due in late May. The ‘awesome’ ultrasound machine was broken today, but we still got to see some pretty neat things. She was sucking on her fingers for a bit, and yawned several times. We got to see her little heart pumping away at 153 beats per minute, and even were able to see the four chambers of her heart.  It was incredible the amount of detail that could be seen, even with ‘old technology.’
