I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! We were able to bring our little boy home from the NICU on Tuesday evening. He is still on oxygen though, and will be at least through the end of the week. And that is the best Christmas present we could ask for… a baby […]

Baby Update
December 18th, 2008 · 11 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, spencer, tina, Uncategorized
Things around here are a little different and crazy at the moment (as I suppose can be expected). I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Spencer, on the other hand, is still in the NICU. His breathing has improved since he was born, but he still hasn’t figured out how to coordinate eating, breathing, and […]

Little Spencer David Ernstrom was born tonight! We came to the hospital around 4:30 this afternoon, and Spencer was delivered via c-section at 6:47 pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and was 19.5″ long. Being nearly 3 weeks early he is having a bit of trouble keeping his breathing steady so he’ll be in […]

So much for the numbers (or Early baby?)
December 10th, 2008 · 9 Comments · a day in the life, family, random, tina
My last post was all about numbers. Probably boring… Well, the first number, 29 may no longer mean anything. Ha. So much for trying to schedule a birthday. I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and it seems that this little boy may try to grace this earth even earlier than expected. It seems that I […]

Numbers
December 8th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, family, random
There have been a lot of numbers that have crossed my path recently. A lot of numbers to remember. A lot of numbers with funny, interesting, or significant stories behind them. Just a lot of numbers, I guess. It probably doesn’t help that we’ve been watching LOST again recently (trying to get refreshed before the […]

A bed with a “climber”
December 2nd, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family
Recognizing that we need to be setting up a crib again soon, and would there by be needing a crib sized mattress… we decided to upgrade Bridget to a twin sized bed and reclaim the mattress from the toddler bed for the crib. I’d seen a low loft (or junior loft) bed at Ikea and […]

Also in August (actually the same day as the zoo), we had a BBQ with my family… parents, siblings/spouses, and kids. We ate outside on some picnic tables on a piece of land my parents own neighboring my brother’s house. So far the land has been used only for gardening and for the storing all […]

The Zoo

Back in August (yes, I’m a little behind), we had the opportunity to visit Hogle Zoo as a family. My sister, Karla, joined us in the fun. Bridget and I had gone last summer, but this was the first time all of us had been together. We had a great time visiting all the animals. […]

Today is our 4th Wedding Anniversary!! In celebration of this day, I thought I’d share a few of pictures of us from our wedding. Here are some engagements and bridals too… It’s too bad this old building fell down. It may have been a safety hazard, but it sure was a great place for pictures. […]
