A new (8 months that is) addition to the family

Since the last time I blogged, life with the Gerlach's has certainly changed.  We welcomed in a beautiful baby girl on May 2nd, 2017.  Her name is Claire Isabelle Gerlach.

Over these last 8 months she's been at the center of our hearts and lives.  Watching her progress as been a dream come true.  People always says those first few weeks are rough, but people also say you soon forget all about it.  I think that's already started to happen.  Nothing but joy and happiness these days.

As for progress, she's been doing great.  Crawling all over the place, and even getting adventurous with trying to stand on her own.  We're pretty sure she'll be walking here real soon.  Thus the next shock wave will be felt.

As for Isabelle and I, we've been keeping busy.  We both started climbing earlier in the fall, and we even got to go on a trip to the the mountains to visit with our friends Steve and Vicki.  We both have taken on new positions at work, and so far we're both really excited for the opportunities to come.  Happy New Year to you and yours.
