Growth

Well, the rumors are true...are family has grown by one. Saurin (pronounced Soren) Joseph arrived at 2:58 a.m. on December 10th. He weighed 7 lbs 14 ounces and was 20 inches long.








Many have asked how Malachi is handling his "brothers arrival." As you can see from the above photo...great :). Malachi hugs by putting his body next to someone. He hasn't gotten the hang of what to do with the arms. He kisses by putting his forehead on your face. So, here is Malachi giving his new brother a hug and a kiss. Overall all though, he has done well. He is adjusting, as are we all!

Thank you for those of you who have been praying for us and for Saurin. As many know (and many don't) Saurin ended up with a pretty nasty staph infection a few days after birth. He was treated at home for the infection with antibiotics, special soap, and lotion, and a lot of stress! Things are looking up and the infection appears to be gone. We end antibiotics tomorrow!

We will post more recent photos in the next day or so. Happy New Year to all!
