Our first post!

All dressed up and ready to hit the town!

We were excited to have Doreen and Rick Van Rhijn visit us from Houston BC. (May 6)

Isn't she cute after getting her hair washed! Bring on the curly locks!

Taking a nap on my play mat.

Getting ready to go to our first church service.

Grandma G with Katelyn sporting her new Curves onesie... perhaps K will join Grandma at the gym one day.

Thanks Auntie Marika for the great socks .. I can't wait to start cheering for the Canucks (okay mom wrote that!)... too bad my feet are so huge... they are already too small :-(

Katelyn enjoys a nap with Grandpa.

Katelyn, mom and Pooh bear.

Welcome home Katelyn!

Our first car ride ... coming home from the hospital.

Best friend Danica holding Katelyn shortly after being born. Danica was present for her birth and was the best "free dula" Bruce and I could ask for!! Thanks friend :-)

Grandma and Grandpa Gerei drive the 1100 km (quickly might I add!) to meet their first grandchild just 24 hours after she is born.

Grandma Malmstrom meets her third grandchild for the first time.

Proud dad moment!

So I am attempting to set up a blog for all to read to update all you friendly folk about our family. It will take a little while to go back from day 1 of baby Katelyn's arrival, but I will do my best! SOOOO... here she is with proud mom and dad just minutes after being born on April 11, 2008 at 5:24pm. She was 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long.
