Introductions

A very happy and proud mommy and daddy and Grandpa and Grandma Gamache were there to welcome Kai into the world.

Kai Oliver Budensiek's First Moments

Kai Oliver Budensiek was born at 5:17 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20th. He weighed 8 lb 10 oz. and was 21 inches long....a big, healthy and ever so cute baby boy!

I'd arrived at the hospital with my parents around 2:45 p.m., to discover that I was most definitely in labor! Bryon was at his first day of work with Brian C. Jensen CPA, and was in Coeur D'Alene picking up his new desk. He rushed back as soon as he heard that we were headed to the hospital, and arrived around 3:15. Kai arrived just 2 hours later! What an amazing moment in our lives. We are now a family of three and we couldn't be happier.

40 Weeks

At 40 Weeks, I am more than ready for our baby to arrive! 

New House...Back in Sandpoint

On September 20th we moved back to Sandpoint, Idaho.  Bryon was offered a job with a CPA firm here and he will start in mid-October.  Here is our new little place, just a block away from Bryon's office!   

Whistler

Bryon took me to Whistler for an early 3rd anniversary celebration.  What a beautiful and relaxing day!   

More August Adventures

My dad won tickets to a B.C. Lions game, so Bryon and I got to join them for some good old CFL action.
