Maiden Voyage

Well, I figure that I am so bad at keeping everyone up to date with what is going on in our lives that I might try this blogging thing. It seems to be working for the Shadows, so I figure that I will give it a shot. As most of you know, we just had our second baby on March 13th, 2009, and came into this world at the fighting weight of 9 lbs 5 oz and was 21.5 inches long. Thinking that he was not big enough, Flinters has continued to grow and was 10 lbs. 7 oz. by the time he was two weeks. If he keeps this up he is going to surpass Steve's high school wrestling weight by the time he gets into elementary school.

Ayla has taken to being a big sister very well. It probably helps that she has been so busy lately. Ayla is now taking ballet lessons and is scheduled to start soccer next week. Ballet has been a huge hit so far. Last week she got to dress up as a bee, pretend to be a butterfly, and wear a crown. For her, things can't get much better than that.

We have also been keeping busy getting out and doing some "fishing" while the weather has been good. Ayla has gotten the most fishing done while Steve only gets to fish under strict supervision from Ayla and Challi.
