Proud Grandma Vaisa

Our family picture

He's still darker than me....
We are so in love with Israel!

I could not have made this last week with out these three! We were so lucky to have dad come home Sunday on Israel's due date! We had Israel 9:53 pm on Thursday April 16th. Leaving out those fun details of labor and delivery....my only downside was I pulled my neck and today is the first day I could really get out of bed. I nurse my little guy and I have three people fighting over who will change his diaper and play with him. They have been amazing....I have food brought to me and my house stays clean. I'm sad this will all be ending next week, but I'm glad I'm getting back to myself. I love being a mommie!! You can tell by the pictures how much his daddy is greatful to be here too! Plus that Auntie and grandma!!



We love Israel!

What a little precious angel! He is so cute. Don't worry about his weight. The first ones are always the smallest! But they usually grow the fastest! You are so blessed to have such wonderful help with your baby. Family is great! We miss you guys and hope the times are pleasent with Israel. Love ya! Janess

He'll darken up. My dad is Hawaiian and my mom, well Haole. Half of us look like her and the other half look like the Poli side.

Oh, I am one of the many sister in Laws to Erin Wick, Bill Wick is a brother of my husband.

Have a great day.
