Who is who???

How time flies. It's been 5 weeks since our boy was born. We are now used to and loving life as a family of 4. Thanks to all who have prayed for our little Jude. He is thriving! He has gained a substantial amount of weight. Nursing is going well and we are no longer having to give him extra pumped milk. He's a healthy boy and getting rather chunky. :) Here are some recent photos of him and some of Gabriella too.

Jude (or as Mommy calls him "My little Ju Ju")
It's crazy...we've been looking at baby pictures of Gabriella...just to see if there are any resemblances between her and Jude. What do you think? Uncanny!

Our beautiful sleeping girl


Uncle Oscar & Auntie Laurie as well as Great Grandma Nickel sent Gabriella some money for her 3rd Birthday. She bought something very special with that money...her very first pet! Uncle Kit lent us a tank and rocks. She and Papa went to PetSmart where she bought the fish and fish food. She was so proud to pay with her own money. Papa bought the plants...pink of course is what she picked out. Her first fish died...(not sure why) this is her second. This one thankfully is alive and kicking. She named it Jane from Pride and Prejudice. Yes, our daughter at 3 years old is in love with this movie. :)

Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing that with us. He looks like a boy already, somehow. It was fun seeing Ella's fish. Welcome to the world of pet owners. John-Mark should know how to clean out the tank, since we had a fish tank in Germany. Love you all!
