Announcing . . . .

Nemo

We have added yet another member to our already animal and child filled home. Ever since Haydn first watched "Finding Nemo" while I was pregnant he has been fascinated with fish. We took him to the pet store and he spent 10 minutes looking at all the fish and naming them either Nemo or Dori. So we decided it would be a fun big brother present to get him a fish of his very own, since extra attention has been on Taite since he came home. Well thanks to Aunt Mary and J.K. we now have a fish. Haydn quickly named him Nemo. He is so cute to help feed him and will occasionally go in throughout the day to check on him, always saying "Hi Nemo" and "Bye Nemo" before he leaves.

Virgin Post

Sorry this is not the site for the music group, just our attempt at having a creative name to our new site. If you can call copying a name creative. We are finally joining the blogger nation!! Since we have a new baby and I am off work on maternity leave, I figure I will have the time and subject material to get this thing started. Like so many of you fellow bloggers the majority of our friends and family live far away. Hopefully this will keep us more in touch, especially if you know Erika's fondness for answering the phone.

First family update -- our second little boy was born August 4, 2007. We named him Taite DeLance (Riley's great grandpa Squire's middle name) Snow. He weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 20 inches long. A week later I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. If I had to pick out of the two I would rather give birth again! But I am on the mend for the second time and looking forward to some time off to be a full-time mom and wife. I may even cook dinner.

I hope that you will enjoy our postings and check back often. Also, let us know what is going on in your lives.
