Bringing Baby Home

This is McKay the day we brought him home from the hospital, at 1 1/2 days old.

Happy Birthday, McKay!!

McKay Lamoni Felsch joined our family on Wednesday, December 10, 2008, at 5:16 am. He weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and measured 19 inches long. He is such a beautiful boy and we're so grateful that the Lord has blessed our family with him.



Elijah is loving all the time he gets to spend with Pappa, wrestling, vacuuming, "helping" wash dishes, making cookies, and, of, course, eating the cookie dough...

Oh, Christmas Tree!

Last Saturday we went and picked out a Christmas tree together in the National Forest! Elijah was such a trooper. He and Momma played in the car while Pappa tied the tree to the top.

VRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The other day when Abram was vacuuming (what a great hubby!), he put Elijah's bike up on the couch and out of the way. Pretty soon the little monkey climbed onto the pine chest, onto the couch, and then onto his bike!

On The Farm

We have beautiful views from our humble little farm home. What a blessing!

Help us Pick a Name!

We had a name picked out for Baby Boy #2, but we decided yesterday not to use it, because it seems so common out here! Now we need some new ideas.... before December 10!

Brrrrrrrr

Up until last week, we didn't have any heat in our home except for a small electric space heater. Elijah and I had to bundle up all morning until the sunshine warmed our house up midday. So Abram installed a great big wood stove last week (what a handy man!) and he builds us fires in the morning. Yay for a cozy warm home!!
