Proud Big Sister

Baby Boy Curtis Amundson Has Arrived!

We are excited to announce our new arrival! Curtis Jon Amundson was born, today, June 26th at 7:35 a.m., weighing 8 lbs 2 oz, and stretching 20 1/4 inches long. He made his entry into this world in record time. Sarah was admitted to the hospital at 7:00 a.m. and he was in our arms by 7:35 a.m. No time for epidurals, but mom did just fine. Just for the record, Sarah emphatically stated she won't be trying the drug-free method again.

Waiting...

Today is supposed to be the big day, but I am still at home waiting. I am ready for this baby to be born. The house is clean, laundry done and my bags are packed, so where is the baby? Tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment and I intentionally set it after I was due in hopes I wouldn't have to go, but I have waited for 40 weeks, so I guess a few days more won't hurt. We'll keep you updated and let everyone know when the baby comes.

Summer Harvest

I found some great deals last week on summer fruit, so we spent the weekend making raspberry and peach melba jam. It was delicious! There is nothing like homemade freezer jam. On Sunday, we added some homemade bread and nearly ate an entire loaf and a small container of jam it was so good. I love summer!
