Loving Sam, Luke, & Jude!

We have another son!!

Yes, it's true...I haven't posted on here in a bit, but I always read everyone's posts. We have another son, and we are just over the moon blessed. He is beautiful, and such a little sweetheart. He was born in TX, and we just got back from "2 wonderful" weeks in TX...quotes because we had a 3-year-old, a 2-year-old and a newborn in a hotel for 2 weeks. My goodness, if that isn't a test for a marriage, then I don't know what is!!

So I am just amazingly in love again. God sends me boys, and I accept them with my whole heart.

His name is Julian Thomas, but we call him Jude. That is for my husband, who is in love with the Beatles (and John Lennon's son was named Julian, but called Jude), AND for me (who was named after her awesome granddad Julius).

He is just a dream come true, and we could not love him more. The boys are doing amazing with it all, and I am finding that your heart really does keep growing with each addition!!!

to all!

(the pics are Jude, Sam with Jude, and my sweet Luke b/c I can't leave anyone out!)

P.S. All of you in process are always in my heart.

Congratulations!! I am so very happy for you and your family.

I have three bio sons and our precious daughter was adopted from Guatemala. Our 4 year old's name is Joseph Jude. I had a dear friend named Judy who passed away before he was born so his middle name was given in honor of her. I think it is a great, unique name.

Enjoy your beautiful family.

Terri
