Katie's New Trick

This weekend Katie learned how much fun it is to jump and land on your bottom. She entertained herself for quite a long time!

Test

Surprise! I'm actually trying to learn something new in the computer realm, versus leave it all to my geeky husband. It took me several minutes to even figure out how to edit something on our blog, but I think I've figured that part out. When we sat down to look at our blog, I was shocked to see it had been almost 4 whole years since our last post. I assure you we will be posting more than once every 4 years from now on! Here's a picture our our two little cherubs. They wanted to be "burritos" one evening last week.

Sometimes...

Unfortunately, the times that Ethan seems most angelic are usually when he is sleeping. It is fun watching him learn to interact with his world when he's awake (and not crying), but the melt-your-heart moments are definitely when he is fast asleep without a care in the world. Moments like this make all the hours of lost sleep worth it a thousand times over.

Fatherhood...

There is nothing quite like a new baby to put your entire life into perspective and make you think about the things that are truly important. God gives you a gift - a little life that is a blank slate. What will you write on it?

Ethan David Currier

... was born at 3:00 pm, December 16 by c-section. He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 21 inches long. Both baby and mommy are doing very well and will get to go home on Tuesday. What a nice Sabbath gift!

So much for a girl's name...

Yes, it's official, she's a he. And, he was due yesterday. We are expectantly expecting and a little impatiently waiting as Christmas, a new year, and parenthood are reaching critical mass.

A view of Christmas future...

Ever want to see what's in the package before Christmas morning? Well, we just got to take the first peek! Our little bundle of joy is expected to make its grand entrance sometime in the middle of December. We've picked out "Emily Anne" for a girl's name, but are having a much harder time coming up with a name for a boy. Anyone have a grand suggestion?
