Odin and bros + Santa pics

Leif really wanted to hold Odin today, and then, of course, Finn did too.




We went to see Santa today at Fitger's, which was great fun! The boys were also very excited to see the reindeer Santa brought along.

Photos!

We spent Thanksgiving in Grand Rapids with Keely's family and Odin got the chance to meet his great-grandma Norma.

When we got home to Duluth, we decorated our Christmas tree and Finn was really excited. Leif enjoys having a new obstacle in the house around which he can crawl and run, but the decorating was not a high priority on his list. He does, however, love the lights.

We were on the news!

WDIO Channel 10 did an awesome story tonight on our homebirth experience that we'd like to share with you, our loyal blog-audience.

Check it out!

More pics!

Let's just cut to the chase; you want some new photos and we have three boys to contend with.

Finn had his first violin recital on Monday. He showed everyone how he can hold his violin correctly and bow. Here he is getting ready for his turn:


















Here he is on stage with his teacher, Miss Rachel:

Sorry for the delay - here are some photos:

Some Odin photos for you all

We had the camera handy today for some choice Odin pics. I also threw in a couple of Keely laboring. Enjoy!

Welcome Odin Samuel Pearson!

Odin Samuel Pearson












Born gently and beautifully at home, Odin arrived at 8:05pm on November 7th. He is 9 lbs, 2oz and 21" long.

The name Odin comes from Norse mythology: He was the "foremost god in Scandinavian mythology, he ruled over art, culture and magic and fought fearlessly."

Stay tuned for more photos as we take them.

No baby yet

Nope, sorry loyal blog readers. Believe me, we are excited as you are. To pass time on a wet Sunday we were crafty. Below is a photo of the boys painting:












We also made a cast of Keely's very pregnant belly. We will decorate it eventually, after it dries:
