blum family xmas 2007

AttiClaus Blum

hello uncle dave.

flurry of family...

nothing like a grandchild or nephew to bring out the family to the frigid northeast...

God bless my mom, who came out and stayed with us for 4 weeks!!! to help take care of Atti, Jer, and me. 

here i am, toasting and celebrating my last cup of Korean herbal antler-root medicine. 30 days of this glorious stuff...

atticus has many aunties and uncles... but only ONE samchoon...

here they are meeting for the first time.

 

grandpa dale and grandma marilyn. they could hardly wait their turn to hold little atticus.

 

and last but not least... grandma judy. she came bearing the best of Michigan gear. atticus was dressed in his blue and maize finest for the OSU vs. Michigan game.

all these visits were within the same week!!! after having such a full house, it was strange to find ourselves alone... just the 3 of us. 

we're so blessed to have families that love and support us... and adore our little guy. this blog exists mainly for them.

please come visit again!

long overdue.

sorry that we haven't updated in a while... my computer crashed, family members came and went, went back to work, developed mastitis (again!!!)...

little atticus has now become more alert... smiling and discovering the world.

uncle dave requested more atticus pics ASAP, so this is a quick little update. i'll update soon with pics of recent family visits.

atticus and ayla were born exactly one week apart from each other, in rooms right next to each other.

here they are, with their proud dads, dressed to partay with the other Vineyard kids.

atti's week 3

today marks atti's 3 weeks of life.

jeremy and i celebrated our 1 year anniversary yesterday. woohoo!
unfortunately, i became pretty ill on saturday... so we kept our celebration simple... pho' and brownies. hopefully we'll be able to celebrate a bit more... when i'm feeling better and a bit more comfortable leaving atti at home.

thankfully, he took it without hesitation.

that's our little chub scout!
