Honorary Grandparents

On Saturday, Feb 25 Georges and Micheline dropped in to meet their newest grandbaby, Samuel. Georges and Micheline are Jason's cousins from the Okanagan, but they asked if they could be our children's honorary grandparents after Elijah was born. Since our boys only have one set of grandparents, we of course were delighted at their request.
Elijah was thrilled to see them again...and Sam, well you can see he enjoyed some sleep as they cradled him. Thanks for coming Grandpa and Grandma!

"Oh, what's that Momma?"

"It's a camera, Sammie. Momma likes to take pictures of you and Elijah! Be thankful, because although you are the second child & a second boy at that, I am very eager to keep the photos coming! There will be no lack of a scrapbook of your life. Momma now just has to define the line of how much I can post to show off you and Elijah to our family and friends afar." (you don't mind right?!)
This week Samuel turned 7 weeks old. What a difference already, as you can see. He weighed in yesterday at 11lbs at our final Midwife Visit. He is now 23 inches long as well. Samuel is very alert, following objects or our hand as it intentionally passes his eyes, smiling a bit (notice photo) and cooing. Elijah is enjoying this change too!

Winter Festival

Saturday, Feb 11 we went to a local 'winter festival'. Here Elijah and I are making a Valentine's Day crown. He loved wearing it ~ he is such a hat-boy.
It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning as a family!

Our Two Boys

I got the boys to pose for me in their diapers only

so I could try to get a fun shot for a

V-Day card I wanted to make for Jason.

It worked well, I think!

Elijah cooperated and

Samuel looked my direction thankfully!

EJ (Elijah) is 28 months

and Sam is 5 1/2 weeks here.

Feb 2006

On January 1, 2006 at 11:21pm we welcomed our second son into our family! Samuel Hudson came into the world at 7lbs and 19 3/4 inches long. Here he is with his proud dadda and his excited big brother, Elijah, on day 1.
