update

Well I am still having trouble posting pictures on this blog, but I just sent more photos to my mom, so then she will forward them to everyone.
I wish we could be with everyone for Thanksgiving. I wish everyone could meet Eliana and Andrew, but it will happen soon. Oh how I wish to eat turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pies. When we get to spend Thanksgiving in the United States (or Christmas), we will have such a good time.
I remember how little time I got with Mallory when she was just a little baby, and then I went to Alaska. But now we have a baby, and I have lots of time with our little baby. This morning I woke up to Eliana handing me Andrew, and asking me to burp him.
I hadn´t changed a diaper by myself yet, and Eliana had to do some work on the computer today, and I was with Andrew, and saw he had a dirty diaper, so decided to change it myself. He does not like having his diaper changed. I took off his diaper, and he started crying, and kicking his legs. And then I realized that he was peeing, and it was shooting up, but I was able to block it with my hand, but it soaked his shirt. I wanted to be able to say to Eliana, ¨look, I changed his diaper all by myself¨. But looking at Andrew crying, and covered in urine, I realized I needed help, and called for Eliana, and within seconds she was there, and took over, and soon he was clean with a new diaper, and dressed and in his blanket. Thank God for Eliana.
I know Andrew is going to grow so fast, and I don´t want to miss anything. I also don´t want to forget anything. He is such a good little boy, and we love him so much.

You can do this Tim!!! Men can change diapers....ha. I will tell you, as a baby...every time you hit air, you would pee. We never left you exposed or we had a mess to clean up. That's baby boys for you.

A couple more times and you will be a pro at changing diapers. Just got to get in there and do it.

Yes, men CAN change diapers!! You have to quick with little boys :) Jacob wasn't too bad, but a little guy I babysat was the same way-he hit cold air or warm water and he peed!
Oh the fun of newborns...pretty soon he'll be wiggling around and trying to get away when you change his diaper!!

Tim,I remember that weekend you guys kept Mal for me. I knew she was in wonderful hands, even if you were the only one with her the entire weekend I would not have been even the least bit worried. If somebody had told me then that in almost exactly four years you would be in Peru, married and raising a baby I would have had to take their temperature. I know you are a wonderful husband and father and hope to meet your beautiful family so we can spoil that darling baby, even if only for a little while.

Lots and lots of love, Terrie

Yes, we missed you at Thanksgiving.
There was much food and cards and
laughter. I'm so glad you are all
doing so well. Keep sending pictures, we can't get enough.
Love, Carol
