Baby Kalamakis #2 has arrived!

On Monday, July 5, 2010 at 2:58 PM we welcomed Tyson Robert into our family! He was 7lbs 6oz and 20.75 inches long. We went into the hospital at 5 AM to be induced, labored for approximately 6 hours and pushed for 10 minutes (I know; I was impressed myself)! :) We had a successful delivery and are home 24 hours later adjusting to our new family of four. Jeanie and Kal stayed with Payton last night and are graciously staying with us for the next few days. Payton has not been overlooked during this process and has had plenty of attention during the arrival of his new baby brother, from his grandparents as well as the nurses at the hosiptal who were still talking about him today. Thank you for all your wonderful messages and happy thoughts. We love you and can't wait for you to meet the new addition to our family - Tyson Robert!

Count down to Baby #2

Only Seven (7) more days until Baby #2 will be entering into our lives (unless he decides he wants to come earlier than that). We are getting induced next Monday, July 5th and are so anxious & excited. I can't wait to meet the little guy. This will probably be my last post until our new little bundle of joy arrives, but we will post pictures and his stats as soon as we can. Wish us luck! :)

Hope everyone has a safe and HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

Love you all! :)

Team Stacey

Last Saturday, we participated in the Seattle Brain Cancer Walk in honor of my Aunt Stacey who was recently diagnosed with Brain Cancer. She is actively fighting her battle and had a huge turn out of supporters, including family and friends, walking with her this past weekend. Team Stacey was decked out in bright blue shirts so it wasn't hard to miss all of her supporters and was honored as the third largest team at the charity event. We had a great time and will continue to walk with and support Stacey all the way through her fight against Brain Cancer. We love you Stacey! :)
Stacey and her son RichardStacey's daughters Sarah & Kailan (they organized everyone to get involved)P ready for some walking action.Lots of blue supporters, for Team Stacey!

Happy 1st Birthday Sophie!

My little niece Sophia Louise (Angie & Ben's daughter), turned one last week. She is the happiest little baby I know; with the biggest smile and sweetest personality. Happy Birthday Sophie! We love you! :)

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Ben & Angie Mader!

On June 12th Ben and my little sister Angie tied the knot. It was a beautiful wedding and the weather couldn't have been any nicer. Angie looked so amazing all done up in her beautiful gown and Ben so handsome in his black tux; such a goregous couple. We wish you both all the happiness in the world; you are so deserving of it. Love you Maders!

A good friend of mine, Alicia Jerome, shot the wedding, so check out her blog for a few sneak peaks photos. She did an amazing job! http://nwphotoworks.com/blog/?p=465

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the greatest Dad's ever! We love you all.

Big Boy Bed

We got Payton a toddler bed, but he has yet to sleep in it. The boys are going to share a room after a few months, so we set up Payton's room a few weeks back with the crib and toddler bed. Payton is in LOVE with CARS so we got him the Disney Pixar CARS bedding and he can't get enough of it. Travis proudly hung a quilt that his Aunt Kathy made out of all his old sports jerseies in the boys room and it goes great! The next goal to accomplish by September or October will be to get Payton to sleep in his new bed - any suggestions?!
