Ben's sister had her baby Tuesday night! Avery James Crawford came into the world at 6:45pm weighing 9 pounds, 1 ounce. I believe he is 22 inches long. He is perfect and healthy, and very adorable.
I have included a photo from our visit with him on 11/4/06 and here is the link to the ISJ website: http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/babypage_view.asp?URLID=4Y3T3J8P3Y
Good morning everyone!
Sorry I haven't updated in so long, it's crazy how the days can get away from a person so quickly.
Due to conferences, Maddie has no school both yesterday and today. So she is home with Reese and I, and seems to be enjoying it.
Oh, and in reference to my last post; I did a scan and we don't have a virus on our computer - great news! What a relief!
Not a whole lot is going on around here right now. My dad's birthday was Monday, we still need to get together so that we can give him his present. Ben had a dentist appointment this past week, I had coffee with my friend Sherri on Wednesday, and am planning on heading into Mankato again today.
Sounds like we will be hauling Kelly & Mick's tractor to our place to take care of it for the winter. I believe we are doing that this weekend, and Ben already has a trailer rented.
Other than that we are just planning on going over our health insurance options (it's open enrollment time at Taylor) and I am planning on getting my hair cut off next weekend. Pretty exciting stuff, I know.
Ben's sister has a lot of excitement in her life right now. Sounds like her little boy will be born either Tuesday or Wednesday! He was due to be born this past Monday, but apparently he's comfy and cozy and doesn't see any reason to leave. His lease is up next week though, and we are all looking forward to meeting him.
Well, I better get moving if I am going to get into Mankato yet today.
I have included a few snapshots for your viewing pleasure. I have here a photo of my brother, John, who returned to his Navy ship in Japan last week. I also included an action shot of Maddie at a Volleyball game, Ben with his faithful dog, and my son in his adorable little sweater vest outfit.
Take care everyone!
Norton keeps catching virus emails on our computer, and a few have slipped through to my Inbox. I'm guessing that a virus has infected our computer even though I delete those emails immediately.
So, I will be wiping everything off our computer and re-installing windows over the next day or two (nothing is quickly done with an infant in the house).
Other than our poor computer possibly being ill, we are keeping pretty busy these days. Maddie is still going full force with volleyball, Ben is still doing well at work, and Reese keeps me pretty busy.
My brother finally got leave from his station in Japan! He got into town early last week, and will be here until the 10th or so. We are all very happy to see him again. He left for Japan two years ago this past July, so it's been a very long time.
We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the newest family member. Ben's sister, Jennifer, is 38 weeks along with her second boy. We can't wait to meet him!
I better finish my orange juice and toast quickly, I hear Reese stirring from his morning nap.
Take care everyone!
