Lea & Mazy

Cute, huh? 20.5 inches, 7.5 lbs. Lea is doing well, after a long labor!

Mazy May McEwan Arrives!

Mazy was born Saturday, May 9th at approximately 8:30 pm! She's a darling little girl, light hair, alert, and has hardly cried at all according to her mom and dad :) We went to visit on Sunday, held her, checked out the little fingers and toes and pronounced her perfect! I think she looks like Lea.

Mom & Dad To Be

After Lea's shower we took a walk. One of their ward members is building a portfolio for advertising her photography business, so she took a bunch of pictures of Michael & Lea. I tagged along and took a few pics myself. Lea's due date is May 6th, so we don't have much longer to await the arrival of their baby daughter!

Lea's Baby Shower

I went to Lea's baby shower, given by her 2 visiting teachers, and thoroughly enjoyed myself! She received some lovely baby outfits, blankets, towels, a carrier, etc. - all those necessary baby items! Lea even made her own cake for the shower :)

Hmmmm - my pictures always upload before my text, even though I type first. Hey Megan, can you explain that? I'd prefer the pictures to be underneath the text. Thanks!

When it rains, it pours!

Wow, we had constant rain for 2 days, a short break on Sunday, and it is raining again! This is what our front yard looks like :(

First Robin!

I saw the first robin of 2009 today! For some reason it always thrills me - spring will be here in no time at all :)

Michael's Birthday!

Michael & Lea spent the weekend with us to celebrate his 29th birthday! We sampled Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch, then enjoyed dinner at the Packinghouse Restaurant, followed by the movie "Flawless".

Lea is getting close to her due date - May 6th (also Lea and Claire's birthday)! She is still working at the U of I hospital, but plans to end work near the end of March. They need time to hunt for an apartment in St. Louis and get things ready for the arrival of "baby girl".

Lea got Michael the "clear play" DVD and a year's subscription. If any of you have not heard of this, it is cool. You can put filters on any DVD release and remove violent scenes, sex, nudity, etc. - the things that make movies rated "R".
