Dallin Creg Kofford

For all of you who were wondering what we named our little boy, we decided on:

Dallin Creg Kofford
Dallin: from the Dale (dweller of the valley); Brandon's Dad's name is Dale
Creg: rugged rock; Marian's Dad's name is Creg
Kofford: Seems like a good way to end a good name (:
Dallin is a wonderful little boy who just learned last night that nightime is for sleeping. So, now I am very happy and well rested. The girls adore him and love to talk to him and share their toys. We've quickly learned that we can't leave him alone within reach of the girls even for a few seconds because they love to put blankets on him, take off his little hat, or even pick him up. Luckily, they are always as gentle as they know how to be(:

Grandma Ostler was here for the week and we had soooo much fun together. The girls loved playing games, reading stories, getting surprises, and going shopping with her. I really enjoyed having my mom here since we don't live close enough to see each other very often. We also had a blast just spending time together talking. We were sad to see her go today.


Here are Kaitlin and Kiersten with their "Catcher Buggies" from Grandma. They loved to run around the backyard looking for bugs to catch. The funny thing is that they came in and out of the house so much that I think most of the flies ended up inside.

Baby Boy!!

Well for all those who doubted I had any evidence of Y chromosomes, I present to you "Exhibit A". Born today, October 6, 2008 at 1442 an 8 lbs, 21 inch baby boy has finally come to our family. In instances such as this, it is definitely "better late than never!" Enjoy these pictures. Marian is going to be so mad that I post pictures of her, but I do it to show you all how incredible she is to be smiling and laughing and cheerful even during and after labor and delivery. So enjoy the pictures before Marian makes me take them down.

Before delivery, but well into labor, she's all smiles! I love my beautiful, happy wife.



After Delivery!! She didn't even break a sweat! She's amazing!

He sure was upset to come out of Mommy's comortable womb. Hope to make it worth his while.

What wonderful sisters. A lucky boy to have such good sisters.

A full head of hair!

Daddy couldn't be more proud of his son. A welcome addition to our growing family.
