Adam is here!!!!!!

Well my world has forever changed in such a wonderful way!!!! Little Adam Larry Andracek is here. He came during my 39th week of pregnancy at just the right time. I was really starting to feel ready and getting uncomfortable. The 2 days prior to his birth I just wanted to be at home and relax. Once Adam decided it was time to come into the world he came quickly. 5 1/2 hours after I arrived at the hospital he was here!!!!!

Adam is just over 2 weeks old now and things are going well. He is somewhat fussy right before bed time and we are trying to work that out. Otherwise, he is happy! Eating and sleeping well and enjoying his awake time too. He loves to look around, especially out the window.

Thank you to all of our friends and family that have visited. It's been wonderful to see you all!!!!

Crossword Puzzles

I have acquired a small obsession with crossword puzzles! It is totally Erik's fault. He started doing the NY Times crossword in the St. Paul Pioneer Press when he would sub and have a break with nothing to do. Well, now that it's summer, he does them in the morning with his coffee and it just seemed relaxing....so I found a few sites on-line that offer daily crosswords. I love it! At first I would really struggled but I have already learned a few tricks and "rules" that the puzzles follow. My favorite sites are:
