He's Here!

Isaac Wayne Lamoreaux was born on Wednesday, June 8th at 9:13 am. He weighed 7 lbs 3oz and was 20.5 in. long. We're both doing great, and arrived home from the hospital yesterday afternoon.



Cheryl and Robert brought Daniel and Heidi to see their new baby brother later that day. They loved him right from the start,and were constantly asking to hold him again, and saying what a cute little baby he is.
Heidi wanted to take him home already.

37 Weeks

Today was my 37 week appointment. I'm actually 37 weeks and 2 days. I was glad to gear that I have made a little progress. I am dilated to not quite 2 centimeters, but still pretty tight. My next appointment won't be for another week and a half, on Monday, June 6th. Dr. Beck will be out of town all next week. By then I will be almost 39 weeks! And, if I go into labor before he gets back, one of the other doctors in the office will have to deliver the baby instead. (Whoever happens to be on call at the time.) Kind of worries me a little. I guess that's how it goes when you are due over summer vacation. Anyways, I took this picture today with the timer feature on the new camera I got for Mother's Day. (That post is to come as soon as I figure out how to crop those pictures with the new program.)

Paint!

This past week, I have been working on getting ready for the baby. The first thing on our to-do list was to paint his room. I spent a couple of days doing a lot of cutting in and such. I got most of it finished yesterday. Then, this morning, I woke up to a big surprise. Daryl had gotten up before his alarm, and spent the next hour or so painting the rest of the room! Thanks honey, you're awesome! I still had a few corners that needed a touch up, and then I was able to take the tape off and straighten up a little. Now the room is officially painted! Tomorrow, we can bring the crib back in and put it together, and arrange things how I want them. Woohoo!!

Fathers and Sons

 Daryl took Daniel to the Fathers and Sons campout with our ward. They slept overnight near Payson April 29th and 30. And, lucky for them, Daryl's dad and brother also live in our ward, so they got to be there too. They had a great time. Daniel could not stop talking about everything he and his daddy did together. This is the report he gave in his own words (as much as I can remember),

"We cooked marsh mellows on the fire. Mine got yucky. But it tasted yummy. I didn't do it all by myself. I had help so I don't flick fire on my forehead." (We don't even own Deniss the Menace)

Daniel- I went fishing!! But I didn't catch anything.

Me- Did Daddy fish too?

Daniel- No, but he took pictures...

In the background you can see Cameron and Eben, Bret's boys.

They borrowed a polefrom one of the guys there.

 

Gotta love the Gatorade smile.

 

Isn't this a lovely picture! Not bad for a cell phone camera.



Silly Sayings

My kids have been saying some pretty funny things lately. So, before I forget, I'm writing them on the blog.

Danie and Heidi were playing in the kitchen and spinning around in circles.
Daniel: Hold on!
Heidi: Hold on to your knickers cowboy!

The other day, I asked Daniel to go get dressed and come into the front room for scriptures. He found a shirt quickly, but took a few minutes to choose some pants to wear. Finally he came in wearing this...

and then he said "Now I look fancy... like a car!"

We were at my in-laws when Daryl got a call from someone in our ward. He ran over to their house for a bit to take a look at something for them, but he drove my father-in-laws hot rod instead of the suburban. When he got back, everyone could hear the car as he drove it up towards the house, especially Heidi. She turned to my mother-in-law who was sitting on the couch. She nudged her and yelled, "Did you hear that?! Did you hear that?! That's a HOT ROD!"
