Well hello!  Can you believe it?  A blog post....

Thanks to the prodding of a certain niece :)  You know who you are...

We've had an eventful summer.

First and foremost, we were blessed with the birth of our baby boy,

Linden Jamie, on July 26, 2014.

He weighed 8lb 12oz (3960grams)...

quite the heavyweight for being 2+ weeks early.

Later that same day, we were transferred to Abbotsford Regional Hospital so Linden

could be admitted to the NICU.  He had some fluid in his lungs that concerned the doctors.

After 48 hours, this cleared up on its own, thankfully.  After 6+ days in the hospital

(3 days before he finally made his appearance and 3+ days after), we were SO thankful

to finally go home and see the other kids finally :)

The past few weeks have been a blur of feeding times, burps, diaper changes,

and lots and lots of snuggles...

Ahhh...nap time.

Could be a tad dangerous so ya better wear your helmet to bed.

This is the same kid that insists on wearing two different shoes to town.

And if he gets away with it, two different socks is even better :)

And the stuff that he comes up with lately...so funny.
Yesterday he came in the house bawling, tears streaming down his face.
"Mom, I have a hurt leg, right here!"
"A woodpecker pecked me.  We need to shoot it dead, it's bad."

Today, we were driving to town and he was jabbering in the back.
"We were on the quad with dad at the river and he got stuck on a turnip."

and...

He saw a van just like Auntie Arenda go by.
All excitedly he said, "Hey!  There's Auntie Render Fender Bender!!"

Ahhh, love, love, LOVE this kid :)
