Our little boy is growing well..


Are we madly in love with Xander or what? Can you just see that Daddy is ooozing with love?
Well, we are also proud parents of our growing little boy. Xander started out at 6lbs. 3oz. and 18 in. long. He left the hospital at 5lbs and 12oz. But as of his one month check up and yes.. he is one month old already. Whew time flies when you aren't sleeping! Anyway X-man is now 8lbs and 7oz. and 21 1/4 in. long. Milk does a body good..ooops.. I did borrow that slogan, I cannot remember who it belongs to, can you?
Yes. I may be a bit delirious but we are doing well. We are starting to find our rhythm and establish a little system around the home front. We love being parents!
Please keep us in your prayers though. Jason has to work straight through until the 17th of this month. So we will be even more exhausted I am sure. I just worry about him having to start a shift exhausted. He is a worry-wart and he worries about Xander and me of course and my emotions and fatigue. God has been such a blessing to get us through it this far. We have had meals provided to us for 3 weeks. I cannot begin to tell you what that has meant to us and we thank all of you for being a part of that.
As for our friends, we will be back in the circuit again one day in the very near future. We miss all of you and hope to get connected again soon.
For our family, we love you all very much and we are just so thankful for the internet and the world wide web so that we can keep in touch and keep everyone updated that cannot be here to share this precious time with us. We hope that virtual sharing will keep us connected until we can see each other face to face.
My favorite quote is by Emile Zola, " I am here to live out loud."
I think Xander has already adopted the quote for his own.
Keep dreaming.. Mitzi, Jason and Xander.

Sorry if this is a re-post. I've been having trouble getting Blogger to recognize me...

Awesome pictures! Thanks so much for sharing them!!

I just got a letter in the mail from Highlands Fellowship. Did you know that they're relocating to the building formerly known as the Johnson City Fitness Center aka Sonlife Church? How odd is that?
