I found this today, thought it would be good to share it with all of you.

The deed is done

Ok, I know, it's been a very long time without a post. But I finally have something to share.

Alana has been doing very well. We love having her around, what a blessing. Laura and Erik love having Alana around as well, and are learning to be responsible older siblings. But that's not the news.

Ok, here's the news. I am no longer a productive member of society. Yup, this here guy is only for entertainment purposes. I should clarify a bit, add a "re" in front of the "pro" part. Now you might get the joke. Yes, I was the man, took it like a man, and now I'm just an "it", a plaything, a toy. Ahhhhh, the things we do.....

It's going well, the procedure was quick and painless. The recovery has gone surpisingly well. Only one bad stretch that has caused some pain (I was getting out of the minivan... just stepped out and everything got tight... yeah) but other than that it's just been discomfort. But hey, without discomfort, how would we know that we're alive right?

Some More Pics

Here are some more pics of our precious little girl. Here she is right after getting weighed and half way through putting on clothes for the first time. She got the arms on right, but was having trouble with the legs so the nurse helped out a bit.


Here she is cuddling with Mommy.

Another pic with Mommy.

She seemed to like sticking out her tongue.

Check out the lovely locks! Very blong hair, and very long.

I hope you have enjoyed these pics!

Some News!

Please meet our newest family member. Alana Luise was born on Aug. 24th, 2008, at 5:59am. Alla and Alana are doing very well, and they should be arriving home tomorrow. Alana was 3.6kg and 54cm tall. We are all very excited. Here's a couple of pics:

Things kids say... one more time...

Ok, so today was Alla's birthday and we went out for supper. The kids wanted to go for Chinese Buffet, so off we went. After the kids got their fill on fries and noodles while we tried a little of everything (well ok, more than a little), we started in on desert. Of the many things you could choose from, one of the things I got (notice the words "one of") was a Nanaimo Bar. Erik looks at it while eating his piece of tiramisu cake, then states "I used to like those." We look at him and ask what he means by "used to" because he normally never says no to anything sweet. He looks at us and says: "I used to like them but not anymore, the sweet smell of milk and cookies came to my nose."

I just about fell off my chair laughing.
