Fun times in no particular order

Rare when we can take a good picture with his eyes open. This was a cute one.

and Caleb, too.

Yea, I'm THAT cute!

We are having a fun time with Brady. He is doing well, but still doesn't want to sleep at night. Abby and Katie can't get enough of him. I wonder if that will wear off. Flu is all over the place here in Cadillac. Many schools have closed. We are praying we can keep that out of this house. We have hand sanitizer everywhere. Anyway, we keep going!

Photos from the past few days.

Homecoming!!

Nice and snug. Brady is headin home.

Actually I don't think he noticed, but Molly was very happy about it.

This is how he looked the whole way home.

Abby couldn't wait to get out of school. She has been full of anticipation for baby brothers homecoming.

Sleeping quarters.

Katie holds Brady. She loves to do this and ask to hold him all the time.

How adorable.

How adorable.

First Time for Everything

Happy Girls (and boy).

Temporary home.

First bath.

Kodak moment.

Brady is much happier being out of the tub.

First time I got to hold Brady.

He slept while I smiled.

Finally made it to the crib.


We brought Molly home today. She is happy to be home, but she still is very much in pain. Physically and emotionally.
Tonight I asked Katie if she was happy about that and she said "no". I said "you're not happy mommy's home" she said "we're not all together". Brady is still at Munson and she was very sad about that. She is such a loving person and only wants us all together. We are hopeful for Brady to come home Sunday or Monday.

A New Arrival.

The long wait (that went so fast) is finally over. Braeden Timothy Fekete was born on October 13th at 3:32PM. He was 7 pounds and 9 ounces. He was 21 inches long. Little Tiger is in good health. He is in the neo-natal ICU until he can eat on his own. It may be 2 or 3 days, but mom got to hold him for the first time today. She, although not feeling well, was glowing after that. Molly is recovering well and the pain is subsiding. She hopes to be discharged no later than Saturday. Enjoy some of the photos.

We took one final photo of the belly before we left for delivery.

After a 2 hour delay we were finally rolled into the surgical room.

"Hello world"

"Brrrrr...that is cold!!"

Peace and quiet.

So nice to be able to stretch out.

After about a 24 hour wait Mommy finally got to hold her son (can't wait for my turn).

It has been a long 2 days. I am tired. I am sick. I am happy.

The Baby Shower.

Molly and the girls enjoyed a recent baby shower. Sharon Denslow thought it was a great idea and she, along with Amy Junker, did a great job preparing it. It sounded like everyone had a wonderful time. Baby Tiger got lots of great gifts. He will be a welcome addition to our family.

Molly and girls look so pretty.

Looks like a cake, but you wouldn't want to bite into it. It is made of rolled diapers. It was pretty cool looking actually.

Amy, Molly, Sharon
Good friends.

The girls are so ready for Baby Tiger. They will be great big sisters.

Pray for Molly. She is ready to be done with this pregnancy. She has gained so much water weight that it has pitched off some of the nerves in her arms and hands. She is in constant discomfort and has a hard time doing anything without pain. We are down to the last week. Hopefully we can go through with the delivery next Tuesday.

Archery season has finally arrived.

I love this time of year. I love to bow hunt. I am too picky I guess so I don't really have many opportunities to actually get a deer. We will see how it goes this year. I will not shoot a buck unless it is at least 8 points and they are few and far between. I don't really like the venison so I don't shoot does. I'm just looking for something I can hang on the wall. Opening day I saw 4 bucks and 4 does. One really nice 8 point, but over 100 yards away. I am patient. I really enjoy being out in God's creation.

Do you know what type of bird this is?

It's called a Hairy Woodpecker.

This small buck presented a long shot, but it was way too small.

He hung around for about an hour and was finally scared off by 2 large bucks including the 8. It was a fun night. Deer were around most of the time I was out there. I had a doe come by within range, but she had a problem with her tongue. It was just hanging out of the side of her mouth like that of a dead deer. It was just flopping and very limp. Oh well. I felt bad for her as she was trying to eat. I bet she couldn't taste too much.
