Love and support.....and FOOD

One of the many reasons we decided to stay in the area we are and buy a house was because of a really great network of friends we have. After Little Z was born we were overwhelmed, in a good way, love and support. Gifts and congratulations were abundant.

One of the things that helped the most is when one of our good friends coordinated meals for us. This was a real God sent because Mallu was really laid up due to the C-section and Crucian had his hands full trying to keep the house from becoming a disaster.

The web site she used was really cool

http://takethemameal.com/

It allows you to create a list of who is bringing what and when(this is also great so everyone doesn't bring the same type of casserole)
The website even emails you reminders.

We would really like to thank everyone who was so kind and generous. We are truly blessed!

Oh The Love

I asked GMAC "why do have to always touch him (Z), squeeze him and hug him?"

GMAC " I am just so fond of him."

Welcome Little Z to the Church

The baptismal gown it the same one that I was baptized in...all of my children and nieces and nephews have also worn the same gown

We are so thankful to our generous and merciful Lord. A year ago this weekend we buried our little Tarcy, a year later we are blessed to have Lil Z Baptized. We truly feel so blessed not only for this precious life God has entrusted to us but also for all of our family and friends who who have been with us along the journey.

Z just kept staring at the Monsignor

We love Little Z's God Parents!

Sister Mary Servant of the Cross was there when our beautiful Tarcy was buried

And of course this day wouldn't be the same without family

A wonderful surprise

This weekend we received a wonderful surprise..... Friday afternoon Mallu's dad called, he has called every day since little z was born, and we talked for a few minutes. But Mallu noticed that it was strange that he was calling from his cell and when he got off the phone he said "see you later."

Soon we heard a knock at the door.....you guessed it he paid us a surprise visit!

We are all very happy to spend a weekend with "Appupa" (grandpa)

In the Indian culture it is traditional to give a new baby a gold necklace

Say hello to Little Z

At 5 lbs 7.7 oz he is or smallest baby yet...and HE WAS ACTUALLY FULL TERM!!

after two weeks he has gained weight but he is still only 6.3lbs....it just goes to show you that good things DO come in little packages!!
