It's a girl!

Welcome! As a typical mom, I will write the majority of this blog about the new love of our lives, A*ugust. I expect that Aug*ust's stories are what will keep audiences in their seats, as they say. Let's see if I can get us caught up. If you're reading this, then you likely already know that Aug*ust was born overe two months ago, on the 22nd of Au*gust. At birth she weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz., and was 19" long. Since then, she has gained over 5 pounds and 4 inches.

Au*gust is such a wonderful baby, very alert when awake and, like all babies, so sweet when sleeping. As you can tell by her size, she loves to eat, and has been a good eater since the day she was born. She loves to listen to music, and in the morning will sit with Daddy and dance for as long as his arms will hold out.


Augu*st enjoys reading books and is now focusing on the pictures as well as listening.


Aug*ust loves to move- I think it was all those dog walks when I was pregnant. Daily walks are a must for all of us- mommy and her "babies." Augus*t doesn't look so happy in the first shot here, but then, we are stopped. I don't believe this was a comment on our local government.

In typical Minnesota fashion, it has quickly become down jacket weather. This great snowsuit came from my brother Jo*el's wife, Mi*nke. Min*ke, my sister Jen*nifer, my sister in law J*ulie, and friend Ci*ndy have been so generous, along with so many family and friends. We are very fortunate- not just for the things we've been given, but for all the love and support. Au*gust is a lucky little girl.
