Introducing Our New Little Girl, Olivia May Opal

April 27, 2012 — 12 Comments

By the content of my last post (5 Lessons I’m Learning About Life From A Very Pregnant Lady) some of you may have gathered why I’ve not had any subsequent posts.

I am proud to announce that my wife Lindsey gave birth to our daughter, Olivia May Opal, on Saturday, April 21st at 10:44pm. Weighing 9 lb, 3 oz and measuring 23 inches long, Olivia was and is a very healthy little girl. Momma’s doing just fine also.

We are so blessed and we praise the Lord for the safe and healthy arrival of our precious little girl.

In order for me to best help at home, I’m going to step away from blogging for a brief time and return in about a week or so… with all kinds of new parental insights, I’m sure :)

      Thanks for reading and commenting, David. I’m glad you dropped by and hope you’ll continue to do so.

      BTW, my wife has cousins that are Bartosiks… any relation of yours? They’re in Uxbridge, Ontario.

        ha—um, could be but I have no clue—pretty rare name though it seems.  Polish roots, I am sure somewhere back we are cousins of cousins of cousins!  Tell them hi for me :)

    Hey Charlie and Lindsey! Congrats on Olivia! I didn’t even know that you had her till now, but I am following your blog now, so it will be easier to keep up with you guys. I miss you! Hope you are doing really well!

      Thanks, Ben. We miss you too but have been enjoying your updates on Facebook. We are doing very well, thanks. I trust you are too. I don’t know how soon you hear about these kinds of things but wanted you to know that we contacted your head office in follow up to what we talked about the last time we saw you in person. It’s been too long but we’ve finally been able to do something about it. :) Thanks for following the blog, too.

      Blessings, man!
