Way too long, but so goes life...

Well, life has progressed an I've neglected this here little blog. I have some valid excuses (i.e.- the birth of a child, company visiting, the end of fly fishing season, etc.) but I can't help but feel as if I've let you all down. :)

Anyway, I am kick starting this blog again with three, yep, three posts all at once. This first one is about the most important event to happen to our family in the past two years- the birth of our second son, Matthew Macrae. Matty was born five weeks early, and even though he was 6lbs 10oz he had to stay in the hospital for 10 days in order to develop his lungs. It was a long week and a half for our family, but nearly three months later Matthew is doing well and gaining lots of weight. Here are some pictures of the little guy:

This was taken about 2 minutes after Matthew was born. We didn't really get to hold him because the nurses and doc were a little nervous.

This is Matthew in the Neonatal ICU unit. He had to have oxygen and about 103 wires attached to him at all times. We didn't actually get to hold him for several days.

Big brother visiting little brother. The picture is dark because we didn't want to use our flash and wake up the little guy.

This is the two boys at home two months later. As you can see, both are doing great!
