Getting to Know Micah


This week Micah reached his one month milestone. He is still very much a mystery to me, but I made a list of things that I have figured out about Micah so far.
1) He hates having his hands/arms confined. When I swaddle him I have to make sure that his hands are free. When he is sleeping he will often have his hands by his face or his arms above his head.
2) His favorite sleeping position is lying on Ryan's chest. He has some of his most relaxed naps on the couch with daddy.
3) He loves cuddling.
4) He likes his car seat/stroller and going for walks.
5) I am most likely to catch a smile, just as he is falling asleep or just after he has farted.

Grandma and Grandpa O meet Micah!




Grandma and Grandpa Olfert came to meet Micah on Saturday. They had been away seeding (and gopher "control") on the old Olfert Farm in Saskatchewan the past few weeks and were very excited to meet the little guy..

The Greatest Weekend Ever!!!

The last weekend of April was very busy and a lot of fun. My parents were in town for Ryan's graduation, and on Friday night my mom and I went to the Wizard of Oz at the Citadel Theatre. It was a wonderful production... the music and costumes were fantastic. Saturday morning we met my parents and Ryan's parents for breakfast. Afterwards my mom came over and helped me prepare the food for dinner... stuffed manicotti and tiramisu. Cooking and baking with my mom is one of my fav things. In the afternoon we attended Ryan's graduation. He graduated with distinction from Taylor University College with a BA in Religon and Theology. It was a momentus occasion, as it was something Ryan had been working towards for 10 years.


Ryan and his friend Ryan Harris.



On Sunday afternoon we went to Ryan and Becky's place for a graduation BBQ. It was great to celebrate Ryan's and other graduates acomplishments with his classmates. When I was planning this weekend I asked Ryan what he would like to do to celebrate his graduation... he told me "dinner in Munich". While as that could not be arranged, I tried for the next best thing dinner at the Bauernschmaus with some of our good friends. The following pictures are courtesy of Niki :-)

To top of the greatest weekend ever, half an hour after we arrived home from dinner my water broke :-)

Micah comes home!



Micah's jaundice is mostly cleared up so they allowed him to come home today. What a relief!
