we just can't take enough pics! In the following pics you can see that Big Brother Pavle is very happy to have a Baby Brother. He LOVES to help with diaper changes even, especially poopy diapers! It's cute to see really. So many people assume that Pavle is/ would be jealous of the attention that his Baby brother is getting but that just hasn't been the case; he is delighted to have Stefan and even thanks God for his brother and his responsibility of being the "Bato" (a Macedonian term for the older boy).

Some Photos of our New Addition!

Here are a few photos of our growing family!

Way Long Time No Blog!

I fell off of the blog wagon again! Well, now that we have a newborn in the house, that may happen even more frequently!

Pavle loves being a big brother to Stefan. Here is a photo of Pavle holding his baby brother! Stefan was born on January 12. My mom was here during the first week at home helping with meals and the housework while I rested and we all adjusted to new sleeping schedules.

Pavle is reading more and more on his own. He is 6 and enjoys reading simple chapter books. Recently he read a child's biography of Neil Armstrong and a DK book called First Flight about the Wright Brothers. He still enjoys learning about flight and space and currently has a great interest in the US Coast Guard...likely from watching the Little Mammoth Series The BIG Rescue on DVD that shows the US Coast Guard in action. Plus his Aunt Missy & Cousin Danica gave him 2 Lego City Coast Guard sets this past Christmas.
