July 2011 - Off we go to Lake Chelan!

With Nico approaching four weeks old, we take our annual family trip to Manson for the week of the 4th of July.  The week was filled with friends and family, some of which were meeting Nico for the first time, sun, pool time and a constant line-up of food.

June 2011 - Welcome Baby Nico!

On June 2nd we welcomed Nico Ryan Stewart.  He arrived at 8:07am, 8 lbs 2oz and 20" in length.  I had a scheduled c-section so we had a good night's rest, our bags packed, alarm set.woke up and headed in to the hospital.  We strolled in to a very birght eyed and bushy tailed group of nurses checking us in as if it were a hotel stay...hahahaha...well not quite a vacation style visit but anyway.  It went as planned and he was here within minutes.  Capri met and warmly welcomed her little brother.  We did venture out on the boat with Nico at two weeks.  The remainder of June was a big of a blurr as is per usual with a newborn.  ;-)

Our new family of four!
