Judy throwing down “soydream” during her last trimester — the nasty taste in her mouth had just gone away 🙂
Home potluck at Stephanie’s house … John Yoon is confused about picture taking (far left) and Justin is thinking about how good his smoothies taste (far right)
This is to make up for all the times I didn’t post up pictures of Judy’s pregnancy. I don’t know how much she likes this shot, so don’t tell her we put it up 🙂
Snow in November…right by Thanksgiving day. We tried to get a picture with all the animals but it was too hard. Aroe is in the back trying to run away forever…but we caught him.
Speaking about Family Pictures with animals…here’s a better one…Chance is in the basement — he seems to like it down there more now.
Jacob (our nephew) loves CEC. We’re hanging with him two days before the delivery. My bro and his wife Evelyn hung out with us for a month or so to help out.
The night of the start of the delivery…Friday
We arrive at the hospital…this is our first of like 12 nurses. We don’t know her name though…I think it was Jennifer. I took no more pictures until the baby was born.
(Every professional photographer takes a picture kinda out of focus…it’s one of the latest fads)
Here’s our baby!
He’s trying to go to sleep, but people keep on taking pictures
He has a lot of hair.
Two of Judy’s best friends welcome her into the “Mommy Club”. They are all teachers that taught at Ann Arbor Adventist Elm and will now be upgrading to Tupperware Parties twice a year (after Judy quits her job). Julie Klein and Justina are next to Judy and Imanuel and Kerri Mendez and Juan ISRAEL Mendez are on the far right.
This is Judy and the baby right when they met. Judy’s still getting over the medication they gave her for the operation.
I’m teaching the baby how to sleep.
Our first family picture taken by Daniel Mendez (family photographer).
Ending with pcitures of the baby…I think you all have seen enough (don’t want to be like those new camera happy parents that everyone talks about behind their backs)
