She's here!

Sylvia Catherine Rogness is here! She was born on Friday, August 28th at 9:49 a.m.
She weighed 8 pounds and was 21 inches long.

This is what she looked like when she was about one hour old...

Here is our brand new family of three!


She liked her little pink hat that she got in the hospital nursery.


Snuggling with mommy and daddy on Saturday... 1 day old!










Daddy and Sylvia watched the Vikings game on Monday night, but someone got a little sleepy!

Here's a look at our nursery- it's not done yet, but it's getting there!

This is a look at one of the projects I've been working on. It went like this:

Step 1: Plan it all out...


Step 2: Paint all the canvas...



Step 3: Rip out tiny pieces of magazines in the colors you like and then stick them on the canvas...


Step 4: Hang them in the room with command strips so you don't have a million tiny holes in your wall!


Step 5: Take a break and listen to Brent's favorite music- Heavy Level...



Step 6: Enjoy the finished project and set up the crib!





We are still waiting for our crib skirt to be delivered and I have a lot of organizing, rearranging and other details to do, but we're making progress! Today my sister came to visit and when E saw the room he said, "Wow! This baby has a long name!" Too cute! The truth is, I would have loved to have just done her name, but we still can't decide, so her name is in the alphabet somewhere!

Here are some pictures of our growing baby and some fun summer things:)

My regular clothes got too small in March!

We are excited to meet you!


Visiting one of my favorite places to eat... Ole and Lena's Pizzaria in Rothsay, MN in June.


Picnic at Lindenwood Park in June. It was a perfect night. No wind and no bugs! Amy was able to visit us on break from camp too!




I was cleaning the house this day, and noticed that it was getting a little tricky to do my regular jobs... someone was getting in the way!


The 4th of July.


We took one of our nephews to South Dakota with us for the 4th of July weekend. This is E driving the semi. He was a pro! He loved honking the horn.


This last weekend, my family all got together in Fergus Falls. Here are our nephews N and T flying on the trampoline.

It's a...

What we didn't tell you then...

In case you haven't noticed, we have a tendency to use this blog as a way to announce only major events in our lives. We'll work on that.

However, there's one major event we have been keeping in reserve since our last post. We didn't tell you then, but we had also found out we were going to have a baby! Our lives really did change a lot that day.

Androcles, QuarterRoy, Beulah, or Yahtzee will be born at the end of August. Well, our name list is still evolving.

What a difference a day makes...

Jennifer graduated from MSUM on Friday with her Master's degree. Yeah! At the same moment that she was receiving her hood (that blue thing that is wrapped around her neck- as if the funny hat wasn't bad enough) Brent's phone rang giving him the good news that he got a new job at Eide Bailly! What a difference one day can make! Brent thoughtfully had his phone on vibrate as to not disrupt the ceremony. =)
We are looking forward to a more normal new year- minus classes, homework, and jobs that require you to be at work until 1 a.m.

Friday Night Lights, Except it was a Wednesday

Go Otters!

Last Wednesday we went to watch the Otters play the Cardinals in Alexandria. We had fun with our little football fans, E, T, N, and Z!
