He's all grown up...

Hi everyone! Liam is a week old tomorrow. Day 2 was the hardest but we made it and are getting into our routine...feed, burp, change diaper, repeat. Here are some more photos!

Baby Liam

At 11:17am on Wednesday August 24th after 6 hours of hard labour and an hour of pushing baby Liam was born. He was 7 lbs 7 ozs and 53 cm long. Mom and baby are home and doing well, dad is exhausted. Cousins Mike and Teresa were the first to visit already spoiling the baby with toys. Uncle Cam is here now and babysitting as I write this. Here are some photos, hope you are all well. - Matt

38 weeks and 2 days...but who is counting?

Like the title states we're, hopefully, only a few weeks away from the birth of our first child. I am dealing with ailments that I've never had before...swollen feet, hip aches, lack of sleep but more so I am very excited for what is coming up and that is holding a new baby in my arms. Now I have images of what this baby could look like but it is hard to imagine a mix of Matt and me. I just really hope it looks nothing like the photo we took in a booth that morphs your two pictures together to create, tada! your child...because I am pretty sure that little girl had a gotee/moustache. haha

Email me your bets on when you think this baby will be born and we'll see who is the closest. Matt and I first predicted August 29 to be the day but the ultrasound says September 3 so you decide...

Manning Park

This past weekend we went to Manning Park for a day trip with my cousins Michael and Teresa. We stopped at Bridal Falls and I actually made it up the 15 minute walk to the falls without wanting to collapse. I hope things get easier after I pop this thing out. Bridal Falls is beautiful.

Manning Park is amazing as well only about 2 hours East of Chilliwack. Great summer spot but from what I've heard even more amazing winter recreation with skiing, snow shoeing, camping, skating and tubing on the snow. Wooooweee.

Of course mostly on my mind this weekend is when this baby is going to get here. We're into 38 weeks now and just trying to patient...quite difficult though. We'll keep eveyone updated.

Here's Chilllllliwack...

Welcome to our blog everyone! Here is my first attempt at trying to show everyone the sights of Chilliwack. Matt and I have been here for almost two months now. Sorry we've been so slow on the pictures.

Well, here's the deal with Chilliwack:
- 70, 000 people
- it's located in the Fraser Valley
- it is approximately an hour and a half east of Vancouver
- average temperature this month is around 25 degrees everyday...not only is it hot it's also humid!

We do miss everyone out there so drop us a few lines!
