Winter 1998

You loved it when Donovan would push you in the swing.
In February 1998 Grandma Dysart is holding you. Uncle Neil went to the MTC for his mission so Grandma and Grandpa got to visit us!

Your First Christmas - 1997

Christopher's first Christmas. You sure had fun with this toy.

3 months old

This is one of my most favorite pictures of Christopher! What a cute little naked baby!

October 1997

Your arrival in the newspaper!
Christopher is 1 week old.
Another 1 week old picture.

3 October 1997 - New arrival!

When I was still pregnant with Christopher I had two ultrasounds. Both times the doctor said it was a girl. Here I am at the baby shower for Chris. Everything was so cute and so pink and so for a little girl. Which Christopher wasn't when he was born!

Christopher joined the family rather speedily on 3 October 1997. He arrived at 10:32 p.m. My water broke at home around 7:30 p.m. and I will say - it's the shortest labor I've ever had!

Later that night after I moved to a different room. And put on a new gown. Oh lucky me!

Russell brought Donovan to the hospital to meet baby brother. Here he is giving kisses.
