Bonding Recipe

A recipe of perfect baby bonding:

1 - Baby (preferably sedated in a milk coma)
1 - Mother (unstressed, ie. supported)
1 - Couch (a futon will do)
1 - Good Book

Make sure you have a minimum of six weeks off of work. Get into a schedule, and repeat.

Baby Expressions

How is it possible that all of these can exsist within the same minute?! And how can you love someone who throws up, poops, and pees on you on a consistent basis?!

Easter 2006

It was wonderful to see you all! We hope that everyonel had an Easter filled with joy and insight into this most important celebration. It was great to see so many children at Kari and Jeff's house. The Simons family is really begining to grow. The Bevers family was missing a few members this time around; hopefully Leah and Tim will be able to join us next year. We hope you are all well.

Love,

David, Jessi & Natalie

Exterior? Yes. But it feels just like home.

Natalie's First Walk in Elver Park

We are a little excited about our little baby girl and her little milestones, but what else did you expect. Mom and baby are both doing wonderful in their 5th day post C-section! My women are tough.




Pink Baby!

Mom was so thrilled to have pink clothes for her little baby girl. However, the jury is still out on whether baby feels the same!







Natalie & Rowan

Just one of many pictures of Natalie and her cousins. We had to do everything to keep Rowan from slobbering all over Natalie. Thank God for baby toys.

Life Group at Meriter

Hello Everyone,

It was wonderful to have you all come to see Natalie, Jessi and me at the hospital. We are really blessed to have so much love and support. We are probably going to lay low for a couple of weeks, but then we are considering having life group back at our house. I think that it would be easier for Jessi and Baby to stay put on Wednesday evenings. I hope that you are all well. We are looking forward to seeing you all soon. Don't hesitate to call when you get a chance.

Blessings,

David, Jessi & Natalie




It's a Girl.

Hello Everyone,

It's a girl! Natalie Alison Conrad came to our world at 3:31pm on 03/31/06. She was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20 inches long and healthy as healthy can be. And thankfully Mom is also well. We are now home and enjoying our time with our little one. There are many more photos to come. May God bless our little baby girl, and our family in these early days.

Love,

David, Jessi & Natalie
