The Story

After 26 hours of labor, Kyle Christopher Harker was born on February 3rd, 2008 at 2:03 am via C-Section. He weighted 8 lbs 7 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. He spent his first 3 days in NICU with pneumonia and on antibiotics but he is now a very healthy, growing boy! He is certainly the light of my life and I can't tell you how incredibly lucky I feel to be so blessed with such a wonderful gift.

Andrew and Marins Special Guest day




Kyle and I got to go spend a few hours with Andrew and Marin at their school. We visited the classrooms and then got to watch them sing songs in the gym.

Halloween night
















We went to the Firstenburg Community Center for Halloween night with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Keri. Kyle got his face (well, just his nose) painted, he bowled for candy and watched all of the other kids run around in their costumes. Then we went to Red Robin for dinner and back home to trick or treat. He made it about 9 homes before crashing out on Grandma Marilyns shoulder. Kyle had a GREAT first Halloween!

Its Halloween picture time~













Kyle is a COW for halloween! Our friend Lisa let us borrow it. This was her sons costume.... and Kenny is now 16!

Trick o treat at the Zoo



















We all went to the Portland zoo for the Howl-o-ween party. We did a scavanger hunt and got to see all of the animals. Some of the animals even had pumpkins for a treat! Kyle was VERY scared of Andrews SCREAM costume! Kyle was all tuckered out by the end

Unloading the book shelf

This is the second time today that Kyle has unloaded his books from the bookshelf. I guess they don't learn "NO" until a much later age....... or do they ever learn that word?

Weeeeeeeee


This is my first trip in the actual seat of a shopping cart! I am such a big boy!
