WE DID IT!!!!

Well the title sums it up. We (Tracy, Hannah & Nathan) survived our first time with daddy in the field. It was a little rough at times but we all came through relatively unscathed. Steve left for the field last Thursday and arrived home Monday morning.... was I ever glad to see him. We did manage to make it out of the house a few times and even made an appearance at Mitch's birthday party on Saturday afternoon, things however went downhill after that. Nathan had a few sleepless nights (awake and crying for about 2 hours straight for the three nights). Last night however went much more smoothly. Thank goodness. He has been having trouble with the volume of milk that Mommy puts out... we are now on our way to correcting the matter.

Nathan's Birth Announcement

Steve asked Tracy to be his wife
and so began their married life.

Soon their family had grown to three
with Hannah to bounce on daddy's knee.

In a short time the number turned to four
as Steve and Tracy were blessed once more.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the arrival of
Nathan Hunter Laforge

4 Weeks Old Today!!!

Well we've made it a whole 4 week and all are doing well. Steve went back to work yesterday, and suprisingly the kids and I did really well. The real test will come tomorrow when Steve heads into the field for 4 days and I'll be alone morning noon and night. We went to the health center to have Nathan weigh today.... he is is a whopping 8 lbs 2 oz ..... talk about milk does a body good. I am so glad that I bake them small and then help them to pack on the pounds.

Thanks to all!

A few more pictures of the family for all to see.
