Anna continues to grow in her “cuteness”, and that little baby of ours is growing nicely. Just the right size for this week of pregnancy. (Go back and check the “Development Ticker” post.

Man, I never thunk I’d see the day! Jarod with a little alien monkey of his own. (Now don’t get upset at that, ladies…that’s not derogatory or insensitive in the least…just look at picture four up there :).
Dude, I can just picture it now–fatherly lessons: “C’mown, Zekur…le’s show Mama whut ye jes’ learnt!” (Smacks baby on the back.) “BUUUURRRRPPPPP!!” “Yep, tha’s mah bo’a. Burpin’ like a man…an’ he’s only two weeks ol’!” (Anna’s face contorts, slowly shakes head.)
Joking aside, you two have been given an awesome charge to keep. Keep him well. God is on your side. We love all three of you!

Jarod and Anna, You have been in my prayers so much lately. I am so thrilled for you. Isn’t birth the biggest miracle ever? I had tears in my eyes as I watched the video and thanked God for His goodness to you three! I hope to meet Zeke some day soon. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you cherish these first days as a family. Love you all!! Mrs. B.
