Greysen loves his sister

Greysen almost 3 and Piper just 10 days old.

Picture Below: Greysen almost 3 and Piper 8 wks old.
Greysen is such a great big brother to his sister Piper. He does however call her Harper. Apparently Harper is easier to say than Piper. The other day he was saying Harper is crying because she is really hungry. MacKinlay asked what is her name and he said Harper crying because she hungry. MacKinlay said what is her name and Greysen said Harper crying because she hungry. MacKinlay asked again what is her name and he finally just said, "Her crying cause she hungry." That made us both laugh. Eventually I think he'll get her name down.

She is still so little and such a sweet baby. Daddy is excited to get us out of the hospital.

Piper's First Bath

Just like her big brother, Piper loves to have the warm water wash her head. Piper has been doing really well eating, and keeping her blood sugar up, so we are hoping that she will be able to come home tomorrow. Kristin is excited that she can now have Piper in her room with her since she no longer needs the terrible IV. She has been poked and prodded since she was born, and has all of the bruises to prove it.

Our Little Piper

Mommy and her little girl. Kristin is so excited to finally be able to put bow's in one of her children's hair. Daddy did not like it when she would try to put them in Greysen's.
We don't think that Greysen has quite figured out how much this little girl is going to change his life!

All that I can keep thinking is "oh no, boy's are going to try to date her!"

Piper Elise Timms

Piper Elise Timms was born at 10:12pm on Sunday May 8th, an Mothers Day miracle. She is 6 pounds 4 ounces and 19 inches long. She came 3 weeks and 2 days early and was quite a surprise to Mommy and Daddy. Kristin had been feeling contractions for a couple of days, but of course was thinking that it was just false labor. We decided that we should go to the hospital anyways, and of course after about 3 hours we were on our way home. After about an hour at home, the contractions became about 5 min apart, and a lot stronger so off to the hospital we went. After about half an hour there, the doctor was on his way and we were headed for a C-section. The doctors were so happy that when she came out she pinked up right away which is a sign of her lungs working well. She has lot's of dark hair, just like her Mommy did when she was born, and a cleft in her chin just like her Daddy and big brother. Unfortunately little Piper was having some problems with low blood sugar, so they needed to put an IV in and feed her some sugar water to get it up. Mommy and Daddy are sad to see the needle in her head, the only place they could find a good vein, but her blood sugar is all the way back up and she will get the IV out tonight. Big brother is doing well since Grandma came on the big airplane to see him and spend time playing with him, and we know that he will be a great big brother. Mommy is doing pretty well, and excited for when she can leave the hospital and take her baby girl home. We both feel so grateful to have a happy healthy little girl, and are so excited to have such wonderful children.

Sky Train and Sea Bus in Vancouver

Greysen on his first sky train ride from Surrey to downtown Vancouver. He thought it was pretty cool.


Steven was making Greysen laugh on the skytrain and I was so happy to get some candid shots of our little guy.Looking out the window of the Seabus over to the island that we were going to.
Greysen found his Easter basket that afternoon and was so pleased with all the things from the Easter Bunny. MacKinlay's favorite thing that Greysen says is Hepitopper for Helicopter. Grey got a Hepitopper in his Easter Basket and was thrilled.
