Here are some more photos that we took early in September. Hope you enjoy them.

The big news here is that Maryke has lost her first tooth… and it looks like she has another one that is ready to fall out also.

Many of you are anxiously awaiting for the announcement of our baby’s name. Well we are pretty much decided on a name, but we are waiting a few days before we reveal it. In the meantime, here is a fun list of names that my co-workers and I put together. (Make sure to say them fast and let yourself laugh).

The newest addition to the Ek family has arrived! She weighed in at 10 lbs 6 oz and 22 inches long. She was born at 10 pm on Monday, August 6 in our home and she is very happy and healthy. We still have not named her but we are still considering Chunky Chicken, Maryke Anna, and Bob as possibilities. :p

Here are all the pictures that we have taken in the month of August. There are quite a few of the birth and of the baby, but not all of them are. Also our friend, Beth, took some additional photos on her really nice camera and she will be stopping by to drop off those pictures on a CD, so as soon as that happens I will upload some more photos. Enjoy!

(One quick note for any of you that would like to download these photos to your own computer. If you click on the slideshow it will open up a new window where all of my photos are being hosted, which is at Google’s free Picasa Web Albums. There are links that you can use to download a single picture or the entire album.)

Here are some pics from this month. Hoping to have more pics as soon as the baby comes.

Some of you know that Meredith and I have struggled with our decision on what to name our baby girl (who is due this month).  Well, we have finally come to an agreement.  We will name her Maryke Anna Ek.  She will go by Anna.  That way nobody will confuse her with our other daughter, Anna Maryke Ek, who goes by Maryke. 

Hope somebody gets a giggle out of that. 

Maryke turned 5 in April and I am just now getting to putting these pics on the web. There are some pretty funny ones, so hope you like the slideshow.
