Pluim Family

Brynn Elizabeth Pluim

Hi Everyone! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers! So Brynn was born at 2:50 am on 07/18/06. She wieghed 8.2 lbs, 21.25 inches long with lots of black hair, a dark rozy complexion. Everyone is healthy and happy.

Ultrasound

Well we went to do a 3d ultrasound in the city on Friday the 19th and this is our baby pluim 2!

She looks like she is frowning but that is just because she is sad that she still has to wait it out in my belly, oh, or maybe that is me that is sad that she still has to wait it out in my ever growing belly!

So did you catch that we are having another girl! I was a little surprised as I have been thinking this past week that maybe we would be having a boy but we are thrilled and excited to meet this person! Kenzie is pretty excited to have a sister!

These pictures are weird because they just take one little area and so it looks like she doesn't have a body but she does!

Kenzie got to come in and see the baby on the monitor. I think at first she was a little freaked out that I was lying down etc. But then seamed to be fine.

We still can't decide on a name or should I say agree, that was the one advantage to having a boy is that we had one name we could agree on but oh well now the battle is on!! :)
I am sure we can come up with something in the next two months!

Hope you enjoy the first glimpses of baby pluim 2 I wish I could make out if she has a dimple like her daddy!

Vancouver

Alli and I just spent three days in Vancouver. Originally we were not going to celebrate our ten year aniversary, by going away, since this summer is probably going to be busy with babies and farming. However we found three days and are very happy we went. We did lots of walking along the ocean, and down town. (We don't get much of those two things here!!) We also visited Cascadia Grain Terminals, it was very interesting. Kirsten and Steve had us over for dinner at there great appartment, then we had dessert at the rotating restraunt on the top floor of the hotel we stayed at. Our last day we visited Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinnise Gardens. The Cascadia trip and Chinnise Gardens were like Zen+Yeng. A little chinnise hummor to end off.

Winter 05

Wow time flys! Its allready the middle of Febuary. Life on the farm has picked up again. Mckenzie typically spends her days playing with her "babies" , stamping with Mom, playing with Riley at the backdoor(its like WWF wrestling). She also has a music class, and swimming lessons once a week. Alli is feeling really good, the doctor says everyone is healthy. Allison is really busy with work, also all the other things that go along with life and pregnacy. Like leading a bible study at church, CBC boardmeetings, and stamping. J has been doing the book work for the farm, cleaning up Allison's books for the new book keeper, preparing for the next crop year.

The whole Pluim family Christmas

Kenzie making a gingerbread house with her auntie's and gramma! She was so sick but kept wanting to make it. We all were like don't touch the infected house! She kept licking the spilled frosting.

Gramma Jenell and Jord gave Kenzie her first hair cut because she had been twirling knots in her hair and half of it had fallen out. So she needed a cut. She was very good while auntie Jord read her a story. She looks like a little chior boy! But its better. When she looked in the mirror I think that she was a little shocked so I told her it would grow back!

Hawaii

Aloha! The last two weeks of November we went to the pool, (in Hawaii). We did other things too, but maybe that will come later. This first picture is of Ann, Dawson and Mckenzie at a restruant in Kona, Hawaii.

This is Grant, Mckenzie and J at the
Hapuna Price Resort Pool.

The whole crew, Bob, Joyce, Mollie, Lane, Dawson, Grant, J, Mckenzie, Alli, Ann and David.
Just between the ocean and the Pavilion Restruant at Mauna Kea Resort.
