Poor Little Guy...

Jude was diagnosed with RSV yesterday (in addition to an ugly ear infection).  

So we've been spending 10 minutes every 4 hours doing this:

  Isn't he pitiful!? 

 

Poor little guy. He's being a trooper, though–hardly complaining at all! 

At least he's gotten some extra cuddle time with Daddy...

  

Hope you all are staying well!!

And....He's Off!

A Wonderfully Warm Welcome

This past Sunday, our church threw a potluck to welcome us in as the new campus minister (and wife!). And since it happened to fall on Jude's birthday, they made it a celebration for him too!

I was so touched that people brought Jude presents...
there was even a cake made just for him!

Jude celebrated (and shared his cake) with all of his new little buddies!

....Sorry, no "smash" pictures. He barely touched his cake!

Then to top off the event, we were presented with an incredibly generous gift...

an array of gift cards to restaurants and stores all over town!!

(And a map to show us the way to them!)

We are so blessed and grateful to God for our loving church family!

First Birthday Fun

All bundled up for a trip to the market!
