Ruthie is here!

Just a few minutes old.

Here is our beautiful baby girl. Born at midnight on the cusp between the 21st and 22nd. Believe it or not we were able to pick the birth date. Overall it was a quick, easy labor. And a wonderful result. Enjoy these pictures. I am sure there are many more to come.

Christmas in Kansas

Christmas was a bit different for our family this year. This was the first year that we were without any other family, Baker or Campbell. Although this could have made Christmas difficult, it was actually really relaxing and enjoyable. With the potential of having Mike deployed next year at Christmas this was a good year to ground our family, enjoy each others company, and explore and solidify our traditions as a family unit.

The After Christmas Explosion

Happy 2008 everyone!

Fenway loves SNOW!

Fenway loves fetch, Mike likes snowballs. When you put the two together, you get Fenway trying to catch snowballs and the snowballs exploding in mid-air. Mike and Fenway had tons of fun for hours.....Here is just a sampling of the pictures that were taken.

Winter in Kansas

The snow here hasn't been nearly as deep or continuous as back home in Massachusetts, but it has been enough for Sean and Mike (and in the next blog Fenway) to have tons of fun.

Sorry for the long delay!

Sorry everyone for the long delay in Blogs. Over Christmas break our computer decided not to start. After a week of TLC, we have our computer back and our pictures retrieved from the hard drive. YEAH! So, over the next couple days we will update you on Winter here in Kansas, Fenway playing in the snow, Christmas and a fabulous trip to the Kansas City Children's Museum. Hopefully we will get this all done before baby Baker #2 shows his/her beautiful face and we have to update again. Speaking of the baby.....well, Jodi is certainly ready to get this child to see the world. The due date...21 Jan, but who really knows????
