Introducing Daniel Craig Badour!

Daniel (Danny) Craig was born early this morning at 1:16am. He weighs 7lbs 7oz and is 20 inches long.

Carrie and Danny are both doing great! Here is a picture of the little guy:





I will be visiting the hospital later today and report back with more pictures.

Congrats to Greg, Carrie and Natalie!

Progress!

Hi Again,

Carrie texted me around 8:45 with an update. She is now 5cm dilated, 75% effaced and her water broke at 7pm. She got an epidural around 7:45 and her contractions are around 2 to 3 minutes apart!

Looks like Baby Boy wants to see the Raven's in action for their 1st pre-season game!

I will update as I get more info but I suspect my next post will contain a very sweet picture of a very special little boy.

Keep checking back!

I am going to be keeping you up-to-date on the birthing of little boy Badour!

Carrie had a doctors appointment today ~ she is 4cm and having contractions - her doctor told her to go home, pack her bags and meet her at the hospital!

Here she is moments before leaving for the hospital:




Happy laboring Carrie - we can't wait to meet your little guy, shortly!

Elizabeth and Ray are engaged!


Congratulations to the happy couple!

I'm a Soccer Mom!

Tonight we took Natalie to her very first soccer practice. They handed out the uniforms which happen to be purple so they've named themselves the Ravens. Pretty cool.

The team intro, and yes, she's the only girl on the team

Stay tuned for more pictures. We just practice in August, the games start in September.

At the Dog Wash

Have I been living under a rock? Does everyone know that most local pet stores have a dog washing station? I was so excited to see that in our local pet store was a coin operated dog wash. Basically you bring your dog, a towel and some $$$, and away you go. No muss, no fuss.






The trusty assistant:


Everything was going great and we were so excited. That is, until Daisy pooped in the parking lot as we were walking her back out to the car. Nice. But I guess it could have been worse, she could have pooped in the store. Luckily I had some grocery bags in the car and we got everything cleaned up in no time. Can't take her anywhere.

On our "List of things to do before baby arrives" list, is wash dog. Well we can proudly check that off now.

Best wishes to Jess and Phil

My good friend from work, Jess, got married this week in a small ceremony. Here are just a few pictures of their special day.





Congratulations on starting your new life together!
