Chase Week 2

We have had another fun week with our little guy. We are still trying to figure everything out but realize time goes fast so we want to enjoy every moment. It is amazing how one outing a day can really wear you out! We tried to go watch dad play cricket after church on Sunday but it was pretty windy so we couldn't stay long. We missed dad's batting debut. They tried to pitch a couple to him for practice and he kept on missing but when it was time for the real thing he did great. They were all making fun of his baseball stance but it worked for him! He scored 22 runs. We will try to get pictures next time. Here are some other pictures from our week.


Sleeping with dad. Dad thinks this needs to be a mandatory part of every day!

With my friend Emily and her son Asher. Asher is 2 months older than Chase and they will be friends! Emily has been here a while and was a huge help answering all my questions about the hospital and doctors here, helping me get in a birthing class, telling me what to buy before moving over and tons of other advice. Thanks Emily for everything!


Chase got his first bath this week. We got the bathroom all nice and warm and put him in the tub. At first he was not happy but calmed down and afterwards he was just as content as could be. We think he will learn to like bath time.


We also had our first playdate. The weather was nice so we invited Will and his mom over and went to the park then played back at our house.
Julie and I with our boys. We sometimes can't believe we are both living overseas and have kids! Seems like just yesterday we were living in Texas, newly married and training our dogs!

How the 'little man' is growing! Such big bright eyes - except when sleeping w/dad, of course! Janell, you're looking great, with the sparkle back in your eyes again! Thanks for sharing comments and pictures so we can enjoy Chase, too! W/our love and prayers!
