Its hard to believe that Jude was 5 weeks old when his Papa finally got to meet him! I think it was love at first sight for both of them.

Our frail little soldier - well on his way to becoming a chunky monkey. *love*

Sherocious picture of the day: E's newest trick is taking off his pj's when in a playful mood in his crib. Usually this is in the morning, while he waits for us to come retrieve him from bed. Recently he decided to strip before slumber hits. Here's the proof. I don't know how he fell asleep on a chilly night undressed like that! I'm just thankful he konked out before he got to removing his diaper.

Its pouring rain - and the last of family visitors have left, unfortunately. Its been a wonderful Christmas for all of us, especially the boys. Ethan's really going to miss playing with his Uncle B.

Big Monkey! His eyes will be even wider when he sees what Santa is bringing for Xmas!

My mum sent me this - how perfect :)

life is starting to equalize here at home. Crazy, yes. But I think we're all starting to find our new groove.

Our sweet little Judie is likely coming home to us tomorrow, after a very strong and speedy recovery from surgery. I'm so proud of him - and our family for keeping it together during this very difficult time. It was so hard seeing him so sick! Sweet baboo is coming home on his 3 week "birthday" to a house full of love. Thank you to all who lent positive energy, thoughts and love our way - I'm convinced it made a difference.

Jude was born 2 weeks ago today. He's beautiful, and looks just like his brother. We're all madly in love. Poor Judie is also in the pediatric ward at our hospital - its been 3 days now - suffering from unexplained vomiting and dehydration. We're still awaiting some test results that may explain why this is - so far doctors are stumped, and Jude's family is very worried but we're trying to stay positive. He's been losing weight but he's a strong little boy and I know we're going to pull through this very trying time. Please keep little Jude in your thoughts, if you happen to read this. I'll post an update when I have some news.
