D-Day!

Today marks the first daycare day for Malachi! Oh man our little guy is going to be in someone else's home for a decent chunk of the day and that person is not our family member! But we found a gal that goes to our church that we trust a lot! So Mike dropped him off this morning for his first day. I get to pick him up about 3:30/4 today. This will be an interesting day! Pray for Malachi especially but also for us parents as we make the adjustment.

7 weeks

Wow the time certainly flies by! Just a mere 7 weeks ago we were a family of 2 plus a dog, and now we have been a family of 3 plus a dog for 7 weeks! Both Mike and myself are adjusting well to being parents. Now if we could get Malachi to sleep thru the night we would all be happy :).

If you haven't been watching the news or leaving your house you might not realize that it is hotter than the Amazon in MN! Yes for the past few days we have been fighting over 100F temps not counting the heat index which puts our temp close to feeling about 115F. So it is hot and sticky, but it is also a bit scary to take Malachi anywhere as he is way more exposed to getting heat stroke, or anything heat related. But not only is it hot outside but up until yesterday it was hot inside our house too! Yes that is right-our air conditioner broke! Or I am a bit dramatic, it needed a charge. So the guy came out yesterday and by yesterday evening we were closing in on having 80F temps in our house! Yes that is 80 without humidity so it felt like 60 in there-aka heavenly! With these dangerous temps and a baby who can't take that amount of heat for too long, Malachi and I stayed at grandma and grandpa Gelschus' house! I got to sleep in my old bedroom and Malachi slept in the cradle that I slept in. It was a nice night where we got to sleep in cooler temps. But now our air is working! YAY! Now if the Twins would start winning again I won't have anything to complain about.

Please pray as we still are learning the ropes of being new parents. Also Mike and I are considering getting a new car-one that fits the baby and the dog and all the paraphernalia that comes with them both.

Much love

May the Forth Be With You!

This past week Mike, myself, Malachi and Thiessen headed to the cities to visit the DuFrenes! Stacy was home from Colorado and it was a great time with the family.

4 generations of DuFrene men!

We also enjoyed hanging with the crew at the Karel's house on Snail lake.

Malachi experienced his first time in a lake and his first time on a boat! It was a lot of fun, relaxing and just being with family/friends.

Much Love,

The DuFrenes!
