Pictures coming soon...

Sorry for no pictures of Samuel yet, we came home 26 hours after he was born and have been trying to settle in, so uploading pictures hasn't been a priority quite yet. I'll post some tonight for sure.

Thanks for your prayers and patience. Our boy is doing GREAT!

Samuel Andrew Traub 2/15/2008

Samuel Andrew Traub was born on February 15th at 6:10pm in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He weighed 8 lbs. and was 20 1/2 inches long. He's got lots of dark hair and is feeding well, not crying too much and seems to get along with both of his parents pretty well at this point.

Baby is still 98.6 degrees and lovin' it!

FYI...no baby yet. I know, bummer.

We love you all,

Andy & Sara and baby Traub

SaraTScrapbooking in the Argus Leader

Dear friends, family and fans (ok, we don't have any fans, but it sounds cool),

Here's the link to the article - SaraT Scrapbooking in Argus Leader

Sara T Scrapbooking is owned and operated by my beautiful wife Sara!

You can reach Sara directly at saratscrapbooking@hotmail.com or leave a message by posting a comment to this blog.

Sara is going to be featured in our local newspaper, the Argus Leader, tomorrow! Since we're very, very focused on the baby right now she's not planning on doing any scrap booking anytime soon but it will hopefully be a good boost to her business once things get settled with the baby a bit (in about 5 years I'm thinking).

For those of you who don't know already, Sara has a scrap booking business called SaraT Scrapbooking and Cards that she started in the last year. She works from our dining room for now and has really been able to bless lots of people with her gifts.

We'll post a link to the article if it does in fact get printed.

My new job is going well and Sara is not sleeping great but she's doing a wonderful job of taking care of herself and our baby (no, we don't know the gender yet...the due date is around Valentines Day...and yes, WE'RE EXCITED!)

God's blessings to all of you,

Andy & Sara

Pics from Thanksgiving

Our gift to the world this Christmas is being able to look at our really cute dog. You're welcome world...Merry Christmas.


It's hard to take a picture of an all black dog with out them looking pretty scary. We look nice though right?!


Me studying for my Series 63 test. State regulations...not fun. I took it on Saturday and passed with an 83, which is really good considering all I had to get was a 70.


Overall it was a great Thanksgiving in Iowa with family! Thanks for hosting and housing us Baker family!

Another baby necessity met!

Thanks for shopping on our Amazon.com wish list Grandma Traub!!!
Baby likes it cause it's got a place to sleep when he/she is born.
Mom likes it cause she can put the baby down every once in a while.
Dad likes it cause he got to put something together!

The development of baby Traub

New Stroller!

We had to find someone to test our new stroller! Maggie was very willing! :) Thanks for the gift Grandma Linda (mom).

She's growing...

Sara is feeling wonderful and the baby is obviously growing at a steady pace. My job is incredibly taxing mentally b/c I study all day for about 8 hours but it's ending soon so I'm keeping the faith and the focus as much as I can.

Got a stroller for the baby today (thanks Gramma Linda!). We'll post a picture soon.

We love you,

Traubs
