His strawberry blond hair threw us all for a loop, but makes him very Irish, which comes from my side of the family. Ray, he has your chin. He's a wonderful baby and Giulia is taking great care of him. Mic is home and taking great care of all of us. This time as a family is so precious and we promise to call more and write more once we settle in, but for now we're laying low.

Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. We truly feel blessed by this latest gift and are simply amazed at what God does in our lives.

God Bless,
Summer

Still no baby, but we have Halloween photos....

Hello all of our beloved family and friends. For those who are not on the daily "know" list, we have not had baby #2 yet. Due date was yesterday but nothing is happening. There is a full moon on the 12th, so maybe Heather will have to share her bday with this little rug rat. I could be one of those crazy ladies delivering and howling at the moon, what do you think?

Mic is getting anxious as his traveling has been put on hold and he feels like he's not really working unless he's able to travel too. Poor guy. I'm feeling better than I was a few weeks ago, so I'm willing to wait it out. My Dr. would be more than happy to induce, but I want to avoid that. I'd really like to finish this one all natural too. Giulia and I gave it a worthy try, not getting the epidural until hour 27, but I want to feel the pushing this time. I guess we can already start to compare the personalities of these two kids since things have been so different. We'll see...

So, you can enjoy pics of our October in the mean time.



We had a lot of fun with lots of good family time. Take care and may your fall be wonderful!
