Welcome Baby Conner!

We have a new addition to the family! Conner Ryan Falke was born April 30, 2008 at 11:16 AM weighing in at a heafty 8 lbs 7 oz and 20 inches long. We are so proud of him! Steph delivered him via C-Section and is doing great. I included a picture of her and will most likely get in trouble for it. Thanks to everyone for your support and words of encouragement.

Just 15 minutes old
All I want is a bath and be clean!
He loves his hands and loves to suck on his fingers.

Baby on the way

We are going to have a baby boy around the end of April! We are so excited we can't stand it. The first few months were bumpy due to excessive upchucking on Stephanie's part as well as the fun visits to the hospital because of migraines. But she pulled through it, and now she just gets cramps, and is generally uncomfortable, but very happy and excited. We are taking a birthing class now and its pretty cool. Everything is going great!

The Dog


I forgot to mention that we have Lincoln the Dog. We call him Link. He is a black lab and is the cutest in the whole world. So now you know all of us. :-)

Vacation!

Yes we went on a real vacation! It was a lot of fun. First we went to South Lake Tahoe for a few days and witnessed the beginning of the Angora Fire. We went biking and hiking most of the time. We parked at Camp Richardson and biked to the southern tip of Fallen Leaf Lake. There we tried to get a kayak to take on the lake, but it was "too windy" - they wouldn't rent them for the day. So we biked back and went to Emerald Bay where we hiked Cascade Falls. On our hike, we noticed the fire. By the end of the hike, we were very tired, so we called it a day. The picture above is South Shore at sunset (before the fire started). Tahoe is a beautiful and fun outdoor place.

After Tahoe, we traveled a long ways to Monterey. The west bound highways from South Lake Tahoe were closed due to the fire, so we had to go all the way up to Reno and down I-80 to Monterey. We stayed at the Bide-A-Wee inn in Pacific Grove. It is about 1 block from the ocean and 1 block from PG's municipal golf course (which looked awesome). We biked from PG to Pebble Beach and back along the waterfront. If you want beautiful views do this! The next day we just chilled and went to the aquarium then shopped the outlets.

After all that, we are a little tired, but it was worth it.
