The Brackin Boys

We truly did not appreciate how big Judah had gotten until Micah came along. Judah is such a big boy, and a sweet big brother. Often when lost in some other play, Judah stops suddenly and exclaims, "Where's baby?!!" He then needs to run and find Micah wherever he is...just to make sure he is OK, I guess. Maybe in some way it helps to reconfirm that he is indeed a big brother - which is a thought that really seems to please him.

Also, please note the special purple blanket that Aunt Betsy knitted for Judah. Micah has already stolen it. He has turned out to be quite a cold-natured little guy, so this blanket has come in very handy. It is his most loyal accessory to date - except for Mommy and Daddy, of course. Thanks Aunt Betsy!

Micah - One Week Old

Micah is starting to be awake more during the day and sleep more at night (hallelujah!). Here he is in some cool duds...and only one is a hand-me-down.

Micah Meets Grandma and Pop

Grandma and Pop were able to pay a visit to the hospital to see the new little man. Needless to say, many hugs and kisses were exchanged.

New Family Shots

Here we all are still at the hospital. Judah was very excited to meet his new little brother.
