Hiccups

She usually sleeps 18+ hours a day so this is some pretty exciting stuff!

Amelia's second week

This week has been more mellow than the last. Amelia sleeps a lot. Ritter is enjoying being a big brother, he always wants to hold her and give her kisses. We've been blessed to have Dylan's dad in town most the week to help out with cooking and cleaning and playing with Ritter. Cheri was approved to have the back surgery, that was a huge answer to prayer! Hopefully on Tuesday this upcoming week she'll get that done. We are beginning to pack up the house slowly. We need to be out Oct 30th when the ownership changes hands to the buyers. We have a new address at one of those postal mail box places. It is 1288 SW Simpson Ave Suite I PMB#202 Bend,OR 97702. That'll be our U.S.A address until June 2010.

Grandparents here for a visit

It's been a fun filled weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Harris coming out to play with Ritter and Amelia.

Welcome Amelia!

On Sunday Sept 13th 10:32 am Amelia Antoinette Harris was born into this world. She weighed 7lbs 10 oz and was 20 1/2" long. Amelia is pretty mellow, she doesn't cry much and things have been easy going so far with her. However, she is in for a wild ride having signed up with this crew. We are working on getting her passport and she's only a week old.

Ritter was a little displaced at first but now he proudly tells everyone that "she's my baby sister!"He loves to hold her and give her kisses. Prior to delivery Cheri ruptured a disc in her lower back, causing severe nerve pain. She'll be undergoing outpatient surgery this week to correct the problem. Things should be healed up by the time we leave for Argentina on Nov 17th.
