Georgia, a house, and a BABY!

August 7th??!? Really? We haven't posted since August 7th? Wo... that's a long time.

Well, here's an update. It will likely be brief.

First and foremost, we had a baby! :) On February 1, 2012 at 11:37am, weighing 7 lbs 3 oz at 19.5 inches, William David Krueger was born. He's got red hair, (which his daddy loves :) and he loves to be held.

There is so much I could say about William being born, the labor and delivery, the extended stay in the hospital in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), how Karen didn't take any medication during labor except for some mild thing. I will say more later, but I have to at least say now that I love William. I'm so glad he's in our family. Lois is such a loving big sister to him. We try to help Lois feel ownership of the baby, by referring to William as "her baby". We'll say, "Lois, you're baby is crying." or "Lois, where's your baby? Should we feed your baby?" that sort of thing.

Karen is also doing well. We had a little scare with her fainting in the shower 8 days after William was born. She spent three days in the hospital to find out she they didn't know what was wrong and just have her some antibiotics. She's fine and healthy now. - I love her so much and am so grateful for what she does to take care of all of us. She's awesome and amazing.


Next, (working in reverse order), We bought a house on October 20, 2011! Our first house. It's awesome. We
love it and got a GREAT deal on it. Will talk more on it later. The address is 1818 Beckett Ct, Lawrenceville, GA, 30044.


And, last July, we moved to Georgia! Crazy, I know. I never thought we'd be living here. But here we are.

Obviously, this short post doesn't do justice to any one of the great things that have happened in our lives. I just wanted to get something updatd on the blog.
