Member of the Tribe

On Wednesday afternoon Alexander Joshua Stern became an official member of the tribe. All things considered, he took his circumcision very well. We were very grateful for all of our family who braved the flooded roads to make it to the ceremony and for our friends who attended. It made the event very special for our family.

We were especially excited for Alex to meet his cousin, Ezra, who is just 2 months old. Though Alex and Ezra only stared at each other we know the years to come will bring lots of fun times for them. Hopefully Alex will catch up in size.

Mom, dad and Alex are doing well. We are learning to cope with a few hours of sleep here and there. Next week dad goes back to work which means mom gets to handle all of the night time changings. Thankfully Sheila is coming up to help for the week which means naptime for mom and a decent shower.
