More of Jude...

So this one is mainly prompted by our good friend Sara Lawes and her desire to have some coming home photos... So no more talking... just our boy(s).

Introducing.... Jude Thomas Weis!

Well here is the little one who's been flipping/kicking/boxing around inside of Melissa for some time now... we were blessed to be able to have a planned C-section.

Although Jude came out looking like he had just been dipped into flour (vernix) and having quite a bit of amniotic fluid to get out of his lungs which resulted in a couple tense minutes right when he first came out. It wasn't until he had some oxygen in the nursery and was able to easily breathe on his own and get some pink color throughout him as he finally rested on Mommy's chest that we were all able to really enjoy our precious little gift. It's amazing how similar he is in size to Keenan when he was born.... Jude weighed in at 6.10 lbs, while Kee was 6.6 lbs. Jude was 19 inches long, where Keenan was 19.5 inches. It's becoming apparent God allows us to produce cute and little guys... So enjoy the pics and there are more to follow...

Jude is coming!

So we are anticipating the birth of our second boy, Jude by next Wed. March 9th via a scheduled C-section, unless God decides we are ready sooner and causes Melissa's water to break....

But I thought it would be great to post a fun picture we took last night as we celebrated my beautiful wife's birthday... I won't say what age, but I will say she has been so incredible during these months of pregnancy and especially lately as getting around in the record snow and normal cold is not as easy as it was back in 07 with Keenan in San Diego.

I'm sure we'll have a couple new posts soon, as we anticipate our new little man's arrival and exactly how God made him, his hair color, if he has any hair, if it's curly like his brother's and will it be Red like Keenan's???

The other pictures are of Keenan and me enjoying a Sunday afternoon nap and Keenan doing his best impersonation of Mommy... while dancing of course!

More to come...

Long time... no excuses...

So yeah, um is seven months too long to go between posts??

Well... YES! So rather than attempting to make up on time/pictures and experiences lost to our last seven months, we are just going to pick up from here and work at being more diligent in sharing with all of you what God continues to do by grace in our lives.

- So a couple quick things, we as a family are now members of Redeemer Bible Church, which we've been so blessed to become apart of and are able to grow in our understanding and complete trust in the Gospel for everything in our life.

- So we are expecting another boy to arrive in just over 5 weeks, March 9th, if he can hang out until then... and by the way his name is Jude.

- Keenan will be 4 in less than a month and continues to remind us of how precious time is and how much we need grace daily to raise him according to the commands of Scripture. He is growing up to be such a big boy and is starting to make and love all his new friends...

That's all for now, and here are some recent pics, did we mention MN is known for snow??!!

Memorial Day part 2...

More pictures...

Memorial Day... FUN!

Ok, so I realized we had so many fun pictures from a beautiful and relaxing Memorial Day that it needs it's own post(s), so here a some fun pictures of the whole Reinhardt/Washington/Weis clan on the lake, with the kids, everything we were blessed to enjoy...

FYI, while this is my first Memorial Day out here, I'm told they aren't all this nice, one time it was in the 40's and raining... so keep that in mind when enjoying the pics, especially the ones from being on the boat.

The month of June in MN...

So I realize it's been a little while, but having the cabin to go to each weekend, leaves less time to do these updates... but whatever... I know... you want PICTURES!

So here are some showing what we've been up to for the past month... including Memorial Day, My Birthday, Father's day, etc.

enjoy,
