Happy Birthday to Us!

Today was great as Ez and I shared a b-day. He clocked in at two weeks while I hit a backwards 13. We celebrated our day with generous vittles supplied by our friends Dave and Rachel. Don't think they realize how much the veg lasagna and blue cheese salad was appreciated as a b-day meal. Anyway, the good times continued with a few beers for me and warm milk straight from the source for the little beaver.

Here's to the first of many fantastic Aprils to come!!

Ez's First Visit

Despite his far flung foreign birth, Ezra's first official visit was from family afterall. The timing was right as cousin Dr. Tiff was in J-land for an ob/gyn conference. We decided if anything went wrong we'd be able to call in our own ringer to get things figured. Fortunately, everything went well, so only a family visit was required.


Unfortunately, due to obvious circumstances, their visit was too short. Only had time for some Japan trash talk, and a couple of meals out including the requisite okonomiyaki. Anyway, it was great to see you Tiffany & Keir. You've got an early spot in Ezra's scrapbook.

This Charming Man

He's here!!!

Ezra checked in on April 16th. Took his time and worked his mom over a bit, but she's already forgetting. We're both completely smitten.


Who wouldn't be? He's perfect.
And his mom is amazing!

He's the star of the maternity ward with his 9 pound frame, dashing good looks, and foreign parentage.
He's shown himself adept at sleeping like an angel so far. Here's one with his proud papa during one of his more awake moments:


We are so excited and fortunate to have this miracle in our life!
