Congratulations to Roger and Kelly on the birth of their daughter Jessica Clara! Hope everyone is doing great and looking forward to seeing the pics.

On Saturday, Karin, Elijah and myself went for a little walk near St. Gallen. I brought my camera with and took some new photos of the little guy. Here they are.. enjoy.

I surf the web everyday and am always on the look out for new and cool programs that I can use. It suddenly dawned on me that maybe I should put something else up on here besides baby pictures. So I decided that I will start to post them here as I find them. If you find any other ones, please let me know about them.

The latest one I found was this MyPhoneExplorer ( http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php ). It’s a program that will sync up with your mobile ( cell ) phone and allow you to backup your contacts, messages, calendar, etc. One of the cool things is that it allows you to sync with Google Calendar. I found this when I was trying find a way to export my contact list from my mobile phone and the best part is that it’s free.

Good luck to Michigan today taking on Florida. There are now two Michigan fans here in Switzerland.. although the newest one is a little tired after the New Years Eve bender. 

We had a great Christmas. My mom came out here to Switzerland to join us for the holiday. We spent the 24th at Karin’s parents home and then we had Christmas at our house on the 25th were Karin cooked a delicious goose.. yummy. I believe the BIG winner for the day had to be Elijah. He got soooo many presents. He would like to thank everyone who was nice enough to send him Christmas presents. Below you can see him posing with all his new gifts.

Have a fun and safe New Years everyone!

Merry Christmas to everyone.  We wish you all a great holiday and a happy new year.

Congratulations to Simon for winning the baby pool.  He ended up beating me by 18 minutes :P.  Simon won with a guess of:

The mystery prize turned out to be a bottle of Saentis Whiskey.

Thanks to everyone who played along.  We really had a great time hearing everyones guesses.

Two days ago, Karin’s sister came over with her child, Celine, who is just over a year old and we did a little photo shoot with her and Elijah. Let me tell you, it was quite the adventure. It’s not easy to get 2 kids to not cry for for 5 minutes to take photos.. hahah. It turned out pretty cool though and kinda fun.

More photos can be found here.

Karin and Elijah made it home safe and sound on Saturday afternoon.  We all spend the weekend trying to adjust to having a baby at home.  It’s amazing how such a small thing can keep you soooo busy ;).  Everything is going great thought and we both are really enjoying having Elijah here.

We are pleased to announce the birth of our son, Elijah Niklas. He was born on December 2, 2007 at 12:18 am ( 00:18 ). He weighted in at 8 lbs 10 oz ( 3910 g ) and is 20 inches ( 51 cm ) long. Both him and Karin are doing great and currently resting in the hospital. They hope to come home this Saturday. Till then I’ll be making lots of trips to the hospital.. haha
