Landin Marcus Stanley Alton

Well, we had our baby early.  He was due July5th, but he came on May 24th.  He was 6 lbs. 1 oz. when he was born, with dark hair and dark blue eyes.  We picked his name Landin basically because we liked it.  Marcus comes from Mike's dad's name which is Mark, and Stanley comes from my papa's name.  Hunter loves his baby brother, he'll kiss him and hug him and bring him his pacifier when he cries.

Speaking of pacifiers, we finally took away Hunters about a month ago, it was much easier then we expected.  If we knew it was so easy, we wouldn't have waited until summer to do it.

We also found a house that we love and are in the process of buying.  We close mid-August.    Here are some pics.

This house is 2500 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 car garage.

25 weeks

We are expecting baby boy #2 at the beginning of July.

As the title stats I am 25 weeks along with about 15 weeks left.

We are planing on naming him Landin.

We can't wait and are getting excited. I love to look at how tinny the newborn clothes are. I don't think that Hunter understands quite yet. But he has a few more months.

The baby is very active and kicks me all the time.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hunter's Birthday!

So it has been a while since the last post. We spent last Thanksgiving with Mike's Grandma (his Dad's mom) and Grandma and Grandpa (his Mom's parents). For Christmas, we went to Ottawa to be with my family. There were quite a few of us. My parents, brother Niall, sister Alena and her husband Dan, Grandma from Scotland, Nana, Hunter, Mike, myself, and Jay. We went to a museum, sledding, shopping, to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie, Mike, Niall, Dad, Dan, Alena, and Jay played soccer a couple of times and then hockey as well.

We all went to see Ottawa play against Calgary after Christmas. It was an awesome game.

















Hunter had a lot of fun with Papa and Gran. He now has a love of trains because they took him to a train museum for his birthday.





















After coming home from Canada, we celebrated his birthday here with Mike's parents, grandma and a few people that we know in Brush. He had a lot of fun.
