Devun is TWO!

I can't believe how the years fly by. Devun turned 2 today.

Devun was lucky enough to celebrate his birthday twice this year. Once when his Grandpa and Grandma Schultz were out last week, and again today with his Grandpa & Grandma Olfert and his Uncle Jason, Auntie Jocelyn & cousin Megan. Here are a couple pictures from both parties...

The Arrival of Katie Ella Olfert

We are very excited to announce the arrival of Katie Ella Olfert. She was born on December 10th, 2007 at 10:15 p.m. Katie weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was 19 inches long. Over 19 hours of labour and an unplanned c-section later, Kristie & Katie are now home safe, healthy and recovering. Here are a couple pictures:

Proud daddy Nate, big brother Devun and Katie:



We were very lucky that all four grandparents were able to come and meet Katie...

Katie is all buckled in and ready to go home:



Devun couldn't wait to bring home mommy & Katie (and Katie's balloons).

Our Christmas Tree

Today we put up a Christmas tree. We made a trip to the tree lot with our friends Shawn, Brandy and Bandit. After making our selections in the -20 degree cold, we headed to Starbucks to warm up with hot chocolates and gingerbread lattes... yum! This evening (after the tree thawed from its popsicle state) we decorated the tree... Now it's really starting to feel like Christmas!

It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas...

Today we attended Nate's company's kids Christmas party. Devun had a blast chasing around with the other kids. Although Devun would not go near Santa, he still got a present...







When we got home Devun helped Nate shovel the driveway...





Although it is -17 degrees outside, Devun had so much fun shoveling that he didn't even want to come inside. Hopefully this enthusiasm for shoveling the driveway lasts through his teen years!
