Gabriel's First Bath


Today we gave Gabriel his first bath. We had to wait until his umbilical cord fell off, so until today he was just getting spong baths. He didn't take to the bath thing all that well, but we're confident he'll get use to it.

Feliz Navidad, Mele Kalikimaka, Merry Christmas



Gabriel is now 10 days old and celebrating his first Christmas. Even though he may not realize it yet, he has many people in this world that love him, and my wife and I could not imagine a better Christmas present than this little boy. Thank you to everyone who helped us this past year with the great gifts and even more important love that was shown in supporting us and Baby Gabriel.

Gabriel Loves to Eat!!!!!

One Week Old


Baby Gabriel is now one week old. The first few days at home with Gabriel were tough, but we were able to make it with a good support staff of two very good sisters and great grandmothers. Gabriel is growing fast and seems to be eating all the time now.
