After Erik finished his swimming lesson we decided to head up to the Foote’s cabin.  Being able to spend some time in the mountains was great, and the kids had a blast.  Sometimes it’s nice just to get away and take some time to do nothing.

I thought this was a pretty cute clip you might enjoy.

I don’t think that this needs any explaining. It’s the small things like oreos and milk that I miss being overseas.

Norma and I are happy to announce the arrival of our new son, Adam Paul Bergaust, who was born on September 2, 2009.  My prediction of a 3:00 am birth was pretty close – he came at 2:37 am.  He weighed a healthy 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20 inches long.  Both Norma and Adam are doing extremely well, and we couldn’t have asked for a better delivery.   We arrived at the hospital around 11:00 pm, and he came less than four hours later.  This was the best birth of any of our three children. I guess that practice makes perfect, right?

Erik was really excited to meet his younger brother, but it took Joseph a little while to warm up to seeing him.  However, they are both happy that the baby is no longer in mommy’s tummy and that she is feeling better.  They did a great job taking turns holding him and giving him little kisses.

We will all stay in the states until Adam and Norma get their medical clearances to return back to Morocco, which will probably happen sometime in the middle of October.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and thoughts on our behalf.  We are so fortunate to have such beautiful, healthy babies.  As I was telling my sister earlier today, the feeling of holding a new baby for the first time never gets old.
