It's A Boy!

Mary Margaret had a little boy this morning at 9:15. His name is Solon Fields Fraiser, he is 8 pounds 6 ounces and 21 inches long! I don't have a picture yet- will post it as soon as I get it!

A Couple of Quick Notes..

Mary Margaret went to the hospital and they induced at 4pm..... so now we just wait! She was due last Tuesday so she is past due.... sooooo excited! Dunno if it is a boy or girl.

Important dates:
this Sunday, November 23 is Caelan baptism at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Interlochen at 10:30;

Tuesday, November 24 is our final adoption date- it will be at the Grand Traverse County courthouse at 10:30; they celebrate National Adoption Day and have lots of families there on the same day... there will be balloons and a luncheon; media will be there as well.

We are so excited about both of these dates! Matt's sister Kathy AND my mom will both be in town from the 20th until the 1st of December which makes it all even more special. We invite everyone to join us for one or both occasions. Hope to see folks there!!

BOO!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from US!

We only had a few trick-or-treators this year.... I was kinda upset because I look forward to seeing all the kids dressed up. Caelan just had on a cute Halloween shirt during the day and this outfit once he got home- no actual costume. We went to the pumpkin patch a couple of days before hand but it was SO windy and too cool for the little guy.... soooo no pumpkin this year. Next year for sure though!

The rest of the pictures are from work..... it seems there was a little mischief going on up there!


Jan was all decked out as a hockey player- she looked awesome!

She had a little bat pinned on her shoulder... I helped out and added the bat dilly-boppers headband.

I had on my Charlie Brown Halloween shirt and an orange and white witch's hat.... it had braids hanging down both sides with little bows on the ends. Does that make me a good witch?? I didn't dress up more because I didn't think Jan was going to wear anything more than a jersey..... I had said I would be the cheerleader if she was a hockey player. So.... she dressed up ALL the way... and here I sit... NOT a cheerleader. oops.

Bruce and Jan with Mr. Walter who was found "hanging around" in dispatch...

Jan became the hockey coach..... I had literally NEVER seen or touched a hockey stick before.

Rosie was crowned with a lovely tiara officially making her the princess of dispatch.

Someone rolled Rosie's office..... I wonder if it was Mr. Walter?

or could it have been "Johnny"?

I heard Ronda stumbled into him around 3am when she was going to use the bathroom. I also heard there were screams and tears involved afterwards!

Our pet fish in dispatch said they didn't see a thing!!

Wilson

and

Oscar

The fish are also known as Barney and Andy.... they were named by more than one of us.
