Hello to all,

We had a great weekend. We attended church at HBC Elgin. The worship was live and the message was a simulcast by James MacDonald on "Are you saved?" from the Arlington Heights location. Great message with an interesting format. http://www.harvestbible.org/Content.aspx?content_id=40&site_id=4

This was a first for Jenny & I. Then off to golf with with old friends, Sue and Adrian.

We concluded the day going out for Pizza with Teya and the group.

TEYA is in the middle of her first Saturday.

Grandma is baby sitting while Tracy grabs a nap. I'm at the local coffee shop bringing you this post as we don't have Internet at our park location. Teya had her followup doctors appointment yesterday and all is well. The doctor is within walking of their home and they loved her.

You can check out the photo album that is hot off the press with all of Teya's pictures.

It's been RAIN, RAIN & more RAIN here in Chicago. We have fit in a few bicycle rides in between drops. See the evening sunset here below. We are staying at a very nice Forrest Preserve (Paul Wollf) in Kane County just outside of Chicago. We are about 20 miles from the kids.

Funny thing we ran into a couple from TOT (our winter home in Pharr, Greg & Bonnie) at this park. What are the odds?

Teya Day 2

We just arrived at the hospital this morning. Tracy and Teya are awaiting the Pediatrician for release orders and home we head. Mom is doing well and other than some jaundice in her eyes

Teya is doing very well.

One of Teya's first good crys.

Teya has Arrived

Jenny and I departed St. Louis for Chicago early Monday morning upon the news that Tracy was on her way to the hospital to deliver Teya. (All of the grand parents first) We had about 300 miles to drive and arrived prior to the birth. What a blessing for us, but not Tracy. She did great and worked very hard to bring our little bundle into the world.
Teya Elizabeth Faasen was born on July 7, 2008 at Northwest Memorial Hospital in Arlington Heights Illinois. Parents Tracy and Tyler along with Teya are all doing very well. Tracey went into the hospital around 8:30am yesterday and Teya was born at 5:14pm. Teya weighed in at 8lbs,13oz and is 21” long. She is just beautiful and has some very good lungs.

Visit with Steven and Kara

Saturdays are made for traditions so we made a breakfast stop at the local Waffle House. Then after a visit with Mr and Mrs F. Albert we headed down to the Tower Grove area of St. Louis for a visit.







Woody (Dad) was there helping with some remodeling on their new home.
