We have a new baby in our family! My sister had her fourth child on June 11. He was 7 lbs 6 oz and 19 in long. Below are the pictures from his first day of life (along with some shots of his older siblings and cousins)!

Deer Creek Triathlon

The Kissel family (my husband, sister-in-law, & father-in-law) competed in an Olympic Triathlon (1000 m swim, 18 mi bike, 6 mi run) at Deer Creek. Jeff (my husband) finished first in his age group and top 15 overall. His sister got a personal best for olympic distance and his father did great as well. Below are some pictures from the event. For more detailed information of Jeff’s performance see his blog.
