We will not be having our Friday night dinner and study this week but will resume in one week on July 23rd.
However, we are going to have a BBQ this Saturday night (17th). Come out to the Graf House at 5:30 to enjoy some good food, good friends, good fellowship, and to meet good Finn! We’ll have burgers and hotdogs on the grill and you can bring a side-dish to share with everyone. Drinks will also be provided. We will not have babysitters so please remember to keep an eye on your kids in the yard. We hope to see you Saturday.

Baby Finn!
We are very excited to introduce to you the newest Kleager Boy! Finnton Ray Kleager (Finn for short) was born Friday, July 2nd, at 5:37am in Amberg, Germany! Both Aimee and Finn are doing great. He weighed in at around 9 lbs. 4 oz. (4200 grams) and is 21 inches long--he is a big boy!
BABY FINN PICTURES
Here is a quick synopsis of our past few days:
Tuesday--Visit to our local doctor who recommends that we visit the doctor at the hospital.
Wednesday--9am visit to Amberg hospital and doctor. They schedule us to come in Thursday at 8am to be induced. They also send Aimee home with a castor oil "cocktail" to help speed things along. Low and behold, it sped things along! Wednesday evening around 7:30 we return to the Amberg hospital (45 minute drive from home) and they admit Aimee.
Thursday--8am they begin to induce. Things initially speed up with the assistance of LOTS of walking. However, in the mid-afternoon things slow down and we were a little discouraged. A visit with the doctor at 8pm and he recommends we get some rest and Friday morning they will induce her again. We return to our room, watch a movie, and as Aimee climbs into bed at 11:45pm she lets out a mild yelp and states, "Either my water just broke or I just wet the bed." Turns out it was the former. We return to the deliver room at midnight.
Friday--Aimee progresses quickly and requests and epidural. Unfortunately there was an emergency C-Section going on and she had to wait 2-hours for the epidural!! The epidural did help though and around 5:00am she began pushing and at 5:37 Finn arrived!
Monday morning we all returned home and are now getting some much needed rest. It has been good to have Aimee’s parents here while we get our feet back on the ground again! Thanks for the prayers from so many of you. We can't thank God enough for this special gift. This little guy has already blessed us with many smiles an tears of joy!
We will not be having any activities at the Graf House for a couple of weeks. We’ll let you know shortly when we plan to resume things.
We love you all!
Blessings in Christ,
Brian, Aimee, Jacob, Owen, and Finn

Pregnancy Update
We have a baby! He just happens to still be in the womb! We know many of you are curious about our upcoming birth so we just wanted to post a quick update. We have been going to the doctor every-other-day since the due date (last Friday). Tomorrow we go to the Amberg hospital for the doctor there to do a check. We are not entirely sure what will come of this visit. It could be that we don’t leave the hospital and they actually induce her. However, we expect that the doctor will probably just discuss with us all the options and then schedule a future appointment to be induced.
All in all Aimee is doing great. Her parents are here which has been very nice. We will keep you updated as we know more. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement—they are greatly appreciated.

Day Nine of the Grand Adventure
Aimee is out of town and we are on day nine of our grand adventure. People have been asking me if we are surviving as though we're treading water or something. We feel like we are at the water slide! We're having a great time! While we miss mommy dearly, we have had some great "guy time." We look forward to seeing her tomorrow!
