how Evelyn got her name

We posted all the names that we (Carrie) liked on the wall and had Max choose the name he liked best. Before Max was allowed to choose we showed him a picture of the baby on the iPad (pampers hello baby app) and explained to him that she needed a name and then asked him to choose one from the wall.

Another Campbell

This is where I will be updating you all. So check back here if you want to be up to date.

2:00 Epidural is in and things are much calmer now. Looks like this baby will be here before most of you wake up.





6:45 still nothing. We are just waiting for this little girl to arrive. Everything is progressing normally. I got about an hours sleep so I'm good to go. Carrie has been able to get a little more sleep then that. All in all I'd say we are doing okay.

7:20 baby will be here just as soon as the Doc arrives and says "start pushing"

8:15 Doc says it too early to push so we are back to waiting.


9:20 here we go

9:25 Evelyn Frances Campbell is here pics to follow 9lbs 14oz

Max was the one that named her. There will be a post on that later, with video.





we've been asked to post more pics of Evelyn so here they are.

Max is still a little unsure about his sister

Baby Blanket

Just finished the blanket for our new little one



I tried making the stuffed animal out of the lion, twice, but it just wouldn't work for me so I tried the giraffe. If you think it looks funny in the photo you should see it in real life, it's hilarious.

Kitchen Reno

I'm calling it finished, and posting pictures. Now before we get to the good stuff I'll post a few "work in progress" images.

okay there were too many to post, so I've created this fun little time lapse video for you.



and now to the panoramas:

This project started way back in January when we (Carrie) decided that it would be a good idea to renovate our kitchen. Well seven months, countless trips to Home Depot, Rona, and Lowe's, a bit of blood, a lot of sweat, a truck load of swears, a dead vacuum, and lots of cleaning up (thanks Carrie) it's finished. And we did it all with out a single trip to a Marriage Counsellor.

Although I'm sure there were times when Carrie wanted to just "call in the professionals", (I was about ready to with the plumbing) we did it all ourselves. It's not perfect, but neither are we. :)
