Welcome Mason Kirk

Mason Kirk, newborn son of Nate and Lindsey is finally here!  He arrived at 0853 on 8/31/12 and weighed 8 lbs 3 oz.  He is perfect.  Mason's arrival kicked off Labor Day weekend.  Kirk and I drove down to Des Moines when I got off work to meet the little guy.  He is so handsome and mom is doing great.  We also went down on Saturday and Sunday.  Mason and Lindsey were able to go home on Sunday after a little billirubin setback, but as long has he wears his "glow worm" pads, he should be just fine.  Kirk grilled burgers, hotdogs, and brats for everyone greeting Mason at his new home.  All the grandma's were there, including great grandma Mavis (Kirk's mom), also all the grandpa's.  We had a great time.  Hopefully, Lindsey will get some rest now.

Being it was Labor Day Weekend, Dan, Amy and their friends Mike and Julie also camped at the Outback.  We were able to cook out with them on the campfire on Saturday night after seeing the new grandbaby that day.  Amy bought this neat little swivel grate for the campfire so you can cook on it.  It's adjustable (up and down) and I'm pretty sure Kirk and I need one now.  Then our weekend neighbor, whom we just met that morning brought over a cast iron dutch oven with homemade apple crisp that his wife made and was cooked over a campfire.  OMG!  Now that was some good stuff...I'm pretty sure I need a cast iron dutch oven now so I can make some good stuff like that.  The campground was packed with lots of activities for all the families.  Kirk and I really didn't get to enjoy the activities as we needed to see that new grandbaby while we could.
