Moments after Thaddeus emerged from his water birth

The weigh in--Heavier than all expected

He emerged from the water with his eyes wide open & didn't close them for the first hour

Thank you Jesus for this beautiful gift!

Grandmother Jan

She was an amazing doula!! She was a huge help and strength for Janelle. Thank you for your wonderful care and love.

More Garden updates...while we wait for the baby to arrive

Symbiotic relationship...without the insect the peoni could not blossom b/c the insect eats the wax coating on the bud. Cool!

Close up of my favorite flower in the garden

Calla lily by the mailbox

Janelle wanted to plant a tree for a our first child, but I didn't think we had room for another tree, so we compromised and bought a rose.

I plan to do this when I get another TDI VW.

Especially since Trout Lake has its own Biofuel CO-OP!!!!!
