Some camera phone pics are up on Facebook. I’ll post more pictures from the real camera tonight or tomorrow.

[Update 7:54pm]

To recap all of the Facebook action, Diane started having contractions around 12:30am this morning. She woke me up around 1:30 and told me in no uncertain terms that it was time to go. (For those that are keeping track, this would be our third total childbirth-related hospital trip for the two kids, all three of which have occurred after we have already gone to bed.)

So we both grab quick showers and head on out. (Grandma Bobbi is at the house to take Rylee to school.) We get to the hospital just before 3am, where we are placed in delivery room #2, which is same room that we were in the night before and also the same room that Rylee was born in in 2007.

At this point, timing gets a little fuzzy for me cuz I didn’t wear a watch. Epidural goes in around 4am, doc breaks the water around 6:30am, grandparents start arriving by 8am, they get kicked out by 9am, and Brynn arrives at 9:26am.

Let’s Go Sledding!

We have been waiting for there to be enough snow so that Rylee could break in her new sled. We finally got the chance on Monday. Since our side yard is on a slope we didn’t have to go very far to have some fun.

As with many new things, Rylee wasn’t too sure about it at first. It took a few minutes for her realize just how much she needed to hold on in order not to fall backward on the sled. Once she got the hang of it she had a really fun time. So much that when we were cold and ready to come inside she cried because she was having so much fun!

Dave and Kim are married!

Mucho congrats to Dave and Kim, who got married in a scorchingly hot outdoor ceremony yesterday. I was Dave’s best man, and Diane was one of Kim’s bridesmaids.

Since we were both in the wedding party, we weren’t able to get any of our own pictures, but their wonderful photographer probably got plenty. So the best I can do is this picture of Dave checking into their flight for their honeymoon.

Rylee’s first birthday

Bill — Sun, 18 May 2008 11:32:37 +0000

Just uploaded the pictures we took from Rylee’s first birthday party. We were originally going to throw the party at Limerick’s community park around the corner, but there was a softball tournament this weekend, so we did it at Evansburg State Park instead.

We apparently didn’t take too many pictures, I guess because we were with or holding Rylee most of the time. If anyone else took a bunch of pictures, please shoot them our way!

[Update: Shout outs to Jess for sending over more pictures!]
