It's shortly after one in the morning and someone is wide awake - and while I am not referring to myself - this someone is the reason that I am half awake! Judah Charles was born on April 10. Jude, after his great-grandpa, Charles, after his grandpa was seven lbs one oz and 19 in. It has been an interesting ride the last couple weeks, but he already feels like a part of the family. Drew just adores him and calls him his "brother baby tude". Doesn't that smile say it all? I think we already have dozens of pictures of Drew holding his baby.
Ty loves to pet him and we are trying to teach him to be gentle!! Amidst our attempts to adjust to family life of five, we have lost the use of our van, which Pete is trying hard to repair. A tire blew out on the car, Pete was the only one in it and is safe, but it was a costly repair. Our computer crashed, and my cell phone took a dip in the toilet and fritzed out. So if it isn't one thing, it's always several others! Pete is also in the process of finishing up his final semester of school. He is really looking forward to being done and I am incredibly proud of him. He has remained at the top of his class the whole way through, while working, raising a family and taking care of me! It has been an interesting ride the last three years, many changes and struggles, but the end is near! Thanks for being patient as we adjust and catch up. Posts may be a bit random and far apart, but if you hang in there with us, I'll keep you updated as best I can! Thanks for all your prayers, support and encouragement. You friends and family are very dear to all of us, and for those of you who haven't yet, I am eager for you to meet Jude!
I know this one is sideways - but bear with me. It's the middle of the night, and I'm tired! But, this one shows his adorable little dimples! Well, one of them anyway. Just imagine the other one!

Drew is helping Nana chop veggies for the cole slaw. Drew still loves to help in the kitchen.
Drew has been carrying puppy very carefully. Puppy has to be cozy in his 'night-night' and he takes care of puppy so mommy can get ready to take care of baby!
Flying the spiderman kite at the park. It only got stuck in the tree twice - but everyone had a good time! That is also a look at the last of our snow. We went from almost two feet to nothing in one short week!
Ty was mesmerised at first - just kept pointing at the spidey in the sky.
Here is the untangling job that was so frequent - there were lots of "Drewvian misunderstandings" so we also had a lot of tangles!
Ty got over the mesmerising kite and decided to chase the tails of the kite.
Back at home - getting ready to haul dirt! Typical boy. His favorite place seems to be the sandbox, but I haven't gotten photos of that yet. In time!
