Road Trip to Bemidji

Friday, September 12, 2008

Welcome!

Welcome to the first post on our blog. We plan to keep it updated with pictures, video and stories about our adventures as a family. Let's start with a bit of background...

Sophie was born at Methodist Hospital on July 24, 2008 at 4:40am. She weighed 6 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches long at birth. Sophie is now 7 weeks old and will be starting daycare in about a month. We have been putting her on a consistent routine of eating, playing and nap time. She is nursing every three hours during the day and goes for about a 6-7 hour stretch at night. Our bedtime routine consists of a warm bath, changing into footed pajamas and feeding. A few weeks ago, Sophie started cooing and smiling. She is an absolute joy and we are very proud parents!

Bryan grew up in East Grand Forks and attended college at Bemidji State University, where he met Karen. They started dating in 2001 and got married on June 6, 2004 in Las Vegas. They moved from Grand Forks, where Karen attended graduate school at the University of North Dakota, to the Twin Cities in 2004. After a brief stint back in East Grand Forks in 2005, they moved back to the Twin Cities in 2006. Bryan works at Wells Fargo Financial as a loan officer and Karen works at Medica as a technical trainer. Together, they enjoy traveling, watching movies and hanging out with friends.

Stay tuned for more updates!
