Winter Fun at Mactaquac Provincial Park

We went out on a little adventure today.  Cross-country skiing and sliding at Mactaquac Provincial Park.  This was Tabita and Elliott's first time skiing!  Don't worry, we didn't take Elliott sliding.

The Many Faces of Elliott Vaughn

It was a gruelling 3 minute photo session.













"That's enough Dad... screw off!!"




Prints for Our Baby Book!

Tabita helped hold Elliott during this delicate operation.





We tried to do the hands as well, but Elliott wasn't having it.





Elliott's Swishy Hair!



Gifts Galore!

After a wonderful, but exhausting baby shower hosted by our wonderful Church, we were surrounded by boxes of gifts and such.  We feel so blessed by all the lovely things we have been given for Elliott.


We took the bath seat thingy out for  a spin.  Elliott seems to like it, but squirms so much, it's hard to keep him on it!  One thing's for sure, Elliott LOVES the bath.


Katherine tries the wrap we were given by our siblings.  We love using it and Elliott seems to enjoy it too!


Katherine takes some time to re-arrange the flowers we got as a gift.



Health Check, and Whatnot

Elliott being weighed by our mid-wife.  So far, his weight seemed to be good.







Elliott's First Bath, Plus Other Shenanigans

4-6 Days old or so?  Something like that.  I donno.






It Begins With a Baby

March 3rd of 2018, 5:58am, we became a trio!  At 7lbs -7oz, Elliott Vaughn Opden Dries was born.  The name Elliott is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Elijah, meaning Jehovah is God.
