Gracie's Dugout

Welcome to Gracie's Dugout. This is the first post in what is intended to be a journal for all of our friends and family. Distance has spread us apart but hopefully insightful commentary, loads of pictures, and interaction from all of you here in the dugout will keep us close. If you haven't noticed, I have a little bit of an obsession with baseball...... ok, maybe it's an addiction. In my history a dugout is a place for teamates to share stories and tell jokes. I guess that's what we are looking for here. Feel free to paruse the articles, gander at the photos, and post commentary at your leisure. And without further ado..........

Kate and I are so pleased to intoduce the newest member of our family - Grace Ryne Bielfelt. We feel so lucky to experience the joys of being parents. Our wildest dreams could not compare us for the elation that we experienced meeting Gracie for the first time. Kate had a long labor and of course it came during the middle of a snowstorm.

Kate went into labor on Saturday night while watching episodes of House. We have our own suspicions regarding this. Somehow in my flawed logic (just ask Kate... she'll glady explain) I figured out that Gracie just wanted to get to the hospital. Gracie is already proving to be the extremely intelligent child we thought she would be. You see Gracie figured that Dr. House was really good looking and also a great doctor. Alas Grace did not get to meet the arrogant Dr., but she did meet an incredible staff of nurses. We highly reccomend the maternity department at Iowa Methodist Medical Center. Gracie already has lots of new friends.
