Pictures… and a promise of more to come

Here’s a picture of Sophia we took yesterday compared to one taken of Dinah when she was tiny: Here’s our happy family (who apparently have problems looking at the camera):

Welcome Sophia Grace

July 22nd 2010 by Dan in Family 3

Our second daughter, Sophia Grace Born, was delivered at 7:31 am. She weighed in at 6 pound 11 ounces and measured 19.5 inches long. At this point, it looks like she’ll have curly red hair like her mommy!

Any Minute . . .

So, a few weeks ago, I went to the OB and I was dilated to a 2. Since then I’ve been on pre-term labor medication and on pseudo-bed rest. Today, at 38 weeks pregnant, the OB said I’m a 4 or a 5. Also, both the level of amniotic fluid and Sophie’s weight are “borderline.” [...]

Waking Up, Courtesy of Dinah

July 3rd 2010 by Jen in Family, Randomness 2

Dinah is walking around repeating “nuh-mah-nuh-mah” over and over again. I thought I’d share that right off the bat. With this whole light bedrest thing that I’m on because I’d progressed a little when I went in to the OB this week, Dan has been going and getting Dinah out of her crib in the [...]

Happy Father’s Day!

June 22nd 2010 by Jen in Family 1

Happy Father’s Day my love! Here are some ways that my beloved is a great father: he knows every aspect of Dinah’s day, life, and personality, and if I had to be away, he wouldn’t miss a beat (though he’d be tired!) he seeks her best, rather than simply what’s easiest or most convenient, including [...]

Dinah is one and a half!

June 21st 2010 by Jen in Family 1

Our big girl had her 18-month birthday last week! She’s growing so fast and her personality is so clear to us. We love her more and more each day. We thank the Lord for entrusting her to us! Here are some recent pictures: she walks all the time now, sometimes getting into that fast, crazy, [...]

Happy Anniversary!

May 17th 2010 by Jen in Family 2

To us. That’s right, we celebrated our FIFTH anniversary a few weeks ago (5/7). Thanks to some awesome friends from church coming over to watch Dinah, Dan and I got to go to Shogun for dinner (delicious!) and though we *were* going to have an educational IMAX experience of the Hubble space telescope at the [...]

Dan Born Quote of the Day

May 10th 2010 by Jen in Family, Randomness 0

From a conversation last week: Me: Are you going to help Dinah make me a present [for Mother's Day]? Dan: I’ll help her make you a present in her diaper. Ha! (Note: He did get me a present, so don’t send him any nasty-grams.)

Happy Mother’s Day Jen!!!

May 9th 2010 by Dan in Family 2

I just wanted to post some pictures of Jen and Dinah together so that everyone can see what I get to see each and every day – that my wife is a wonderful mother. Her love for her daughter(s) and her family continually challenges me. She’s sweet and playful with Dinah yet also willing to [...]
