We sure are glad our baby boy is finally here, and I think we'll keep him. After much debate we went with Nate Levi Kruse, significant to both sides of the family, so hopefully he grows up to like it. My sister Leah stopped by a couple weekends ago and with her lovely assistant(aka Randi, my other sister) she took some amazing newborn shots of Nate before they had to go. They turned out great!!!!

 They smother him with their love :)

 Also, anyone else remember this one? We have been saying it since we found out we were having a boy.

And a couple hospital picks just to complete the post. :)

Work Perks in Denver

One of the perks of working for a city is that Kallam gets quite a bit of extra classes/seminars/education so that he can keep learning about things for near future projects when its not usually in the budget for smaller indepedent engineering firms. A few weeks ago he got put up in a hotel in Denver for a two day long class and they let us tag along. Every night we enjoyed seeing some of the downtown denver nightlife and during the day the girls and I played until we collapsed. It was WAY fun! 

The first day when went to the butterfly and bug pavillion. Emma was brave enough to hold a terantula named Rosie, whos caretaker was interestingly named Bunny.

We went to a famous ice cream spot that has crazy flavors

And the last day we spent hours and hours at the Denver Childrens Museum. We didn't even do it all, it was absolutely incredible how much stuff there was to do and try.
