The Incomparable Elena!

We were blessed with having Elena with us for two weeks after the birth of Joshua. She cooked, cleaned, read books, did her homework, and made scones (yummy!).

It's a Boy!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:2-5
We are blessed with another boy, Joshua Ethan, 7lbs.
15 oz.

Labor Day!

Labor Day arrived! It was another great home birth experience with our wonderful midwife MariMikel Penn and her awesome apprentice Aleah. We were also joined by six other very special people: Jacob, Noah, Wendy, Margaret, Nicole and Micaela.

Diapers Arrived!

Nana was very generous and bought us some "All-in-one" cloth diapers, to save the new sweet child's bottom, our pocket book, and the planet! Abby & Noah quickly put the shipping box to good use.
