The Ultimate Canucks Fan

Every year the Vancouver Canucks have a contest with "The Ultimate Canucks Fan." I think that we should enter Raeya. So far at 5 1/2 days old, Raeya has watched 4 Canucks games. 2 wins, 1 loss in a shootout and 1 regulation time loss. Even at just a couple hours old, we rented the TV in the hospital and watched the game. Thanks to her cousin Alana, Raeya has another Canucks outfit to wear when she gets a little bigger. I can't wait until she's ready for a Jersey.


Her first game with us, a beat down of the Calgary Flames in true fashion.

Our first home game. This was a stomping of the Minnesota Wild :)

It was a tough loss to handle against the St Louis Blues, so she decided to take a nap and forget about it.

She has Arrived

At 7:18am Sunday November 18th weighing 8lb 1oz and 22 inches long, Raeya Jane Lightfoot finally graced us with her prescence. Thanks to the Langley Hospital nurses and my support team of Aidan and Mom, the delivery went really well. We went to the hospital at 1am and we were holding her by 7:30, probably sooner but it's all still a bit of a blur.
Laying in her heated box getting all checked out and cleaned up by the nurses.
Long day and night but well worth all of it. First of many family photos. Happy yet tired parents :)
Daddy's Little Girl
Oh no the whisker burn already starts, sorry sweetie.
And our family begins.

Was their any doubt about her club of choice. Her first day on earth she got to enjoy a Canucks victory, GO CANUCKS GO!
Proud and beautiful mom.
Raeya keeps her eyes open for the first time. Taking in this brave new world of hers.
Nappy time.
