Loving our two sons . . .



Eben is such a sweet baby - a little love bug. He has his big brother's personality and is laid back. He is a good sleeper and eater and such a JOY to our entire family. He has been such a sense of comfort to me since the loss of Mom. I thank God for our two sons!










































Had to take a picture - something Eben rarely does . . . well unless you change his diaper. He still doesn't like diaper changes.








The first person Elijah looks for after school is Eben. He loves his little brother!! I took Eben to Eli's school and he was so PROUD to show off his little brother.



























Our sweet angel sleeping!












Eli loves holding Eben.

Our Two Sons . . .


Our Blessings - Elijah and Eben!
Elijah LOVES his little brother and is such a big helper.

Elijah loving up his favorite little cousin Fletchie! I love this picture of the boys - too cute! I pray they always remain as close as they are now.




Eben John-Austin smiling for the camera. He is such a SWEET baby!





















Eli on his Bat Mobile trying to look Cool! He thinks he is Batman:-)











Daddy checking out Eben's grip:-) Eben has big hands and feet. I can only imagine our food bill after the boys get bigger. We so look forward to seeing the boys grow up together which include Fletchie also.





















My sweet baby boy - Eben!

Welcome Eben John-Austin

Born on May 27th at 8 pounds 10 ounces and 22 inches long. We so appreciate the many well wishes and prayers we received. We felt that Eben's name which is Hebrew and means Solid as a Rock and Stone of Help is very fitting for all the stress I endured during the pregnancy. Eben is healthy (Solid as a Rock) and doing great - we just Thank God for his protection (Stone of Help) of our dear son!






With a few tugs Eben entered the world by highly regarded Dr. Sarita Gopal. She delivered both of our sons. She was once again featured in Washingtonian Magazine as a Top Doctor. She is AWESOME!!

























Yes, full face of make-up. John laughed when I came downstairs to leave for the hospital. Yep used the waterproof stuff:-)






























Eben with his two aunts. I so appreciate the support from my siblings and many friends who have just shown what being like Christ and showing His Kindness is all about. It was very difficult going to the hospital without Mom but it was nice to be surrounded by such love and support.



Elijah meeting his brother for the first time. He was ALL SMILES!












Elijah has been wonderful with his brother. He is very proud to be the big brother.
