to be Frank



Our summer highlight was the birth of little Frank. He joined our family on July 30th weighing in at 9lb 5oz and 20 1/2in long. The labor and delivery was wonderful, I have a great partner and support and Dean even got to help deliver the big guy.

such a neat experience to hold your baby for the first time


our biggest baby


Frank had low blood sugar when he was born so the poor guy had to be admittedinto the level 2 nursery. He also had high biliruben levels so they put him under the lights while in the nursery.





Finally he was clear to come home when his blood sugar was good. His biliruben was still high, but that just meant he would need to be in the lights at home.


A few summer highlights

This summer was spent playing mini golf or racing cars at Trafalga, going down water slides or floating in the pool at Seven Peaks. Max turning ten. Taking a little trip to St. George with Grandma, Nikki, Emma and Lacey to see Little Mermaid and just simply hang out with cousins at the pool. Going to a couple of free concerts and playing with friends in the neighborhood.
