Baby Archer is Born

On December 11th Holli was induced at 8: 0 a.m. She was given a epidural and so wasn't in to much pain for the majority of the time. At about 5:00 p.m. Doctor Roth arrived and they started pushing. At 5:20 our baby Archer Steven Pierce arrived. He is a chunk weighing in at 9.6 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. He had a little bit of brown hair and his eyes look dark like his dad's. In fact he looks a lot like his dad. He
has been a very good little baby and took to nursing right away. Holli stayed in the hospital for three days and then came home.  David has taken the month off so he has been able to help her out a lot.

Keslee's First Birthday

We had everyone over including the Luthi clan plus my brother Mark was in town for Susan's Funeral so all of his kids were staying with me. My house was brimming with people. Keslee got a new little pink car from her parents and a lot  of clothes from everyone else. It's hard to believe that she is one. She is started walking about a week before her birthday.. She is such a big girl now...

Cousins Unite

Mark and his kids all came in for the passing of their Grandma Susan Lauder. She had been in an accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. She just wasn't doing well and just finally gave up. It was great to see them all and we even managed to get a picture of all the cousins together.

Thanksgiving

This year it wasn't my year to have the kids so Paul and I just stayed home and had leftovers. It was a nice day but very quite. The Sunday before though we had all the kids over and we celebrated our Thanksgiving as a family then. It was fun and of course the food was wonderful.
