Title: New addition to the family!
Post by: barbender on February 22, 2006, 09:34:38 PM
We've been blessed with a new addition to our family- Senja Kaye Alger- 6lbs 15ozs 20" born at 1:35 2-20-06. I'm feeling pretty proud and thankful right about now.             Here she's about 5 minutes old                                                                                                                                      (https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11286/5%20minutes%20old%20opt.jpg)Here she is with me and mom

  Thanks guys- I was just telling my wife we were getting congrats on here from all over the U.S. and the world. She and I think that's really neat, this forum is a great place.  T.W.- My wife is 1/4 Finnish, so we decided that a finnish name would be good this time around. I found the name Senja on the web, my wife liked it, so that's what we named her. Problem is, I couldn't find what the name means, was wondering if you knew?
We are very blessed

Congrats.  Can LogRite make a short cant hook in pink for her?   :)

I've got two boys myself.  Special thing.  Enjoy it while it lasts, they grow up fast...but you already knew that.

 A little pink Logrite cant hook would be pretty sweet!  I try to remember to not get too worried about the future, and enjoy every day with these kids that God gave me that I can.  Sometimes I'll get a little too wrapped up in tring to make a buck or whatever, and I'm missing out on Jen and the girls. I'll think to myself " You know, my kids are at the age where they are just FUN, where the crisises are things like scraped knees, and they think I know everything. This is probably the best point in my life so I better slow down and ENJOY IT!!"

Very nice family Barbender.

They are fun even after they are grown. Then you can spoil the grandkids (don't have any yet - but I suspect it is just a matter of time now...)
