Jackson has been getting so big, so fast! It seems in the last few weeks he has almost outgrown all his clothes, even the ones that were big on him when we arrived here in the US. He has loved playing on the playground in my parent’s neighborhood, and having Grandma and Grandpa around to play. His vocabulary is expanding, although very slowly, and he still doesn’t say much without being prompted. He babbles constantly on his own, and I think is convinced that he is saying something that we understand.
He’s become a really sweet brother to Morgan… he had a rough week the first week she was home, but since then has accepted her into our family. He is our little helper!
A group of Slovak friends (and Americans from Slovakia) came to Atlanta over New Years for the Passion ‘07 conference. Some of them came up to visit us and meet little Morgan! Here we are with Bekah, Gabi, Corrie and Ada.


Here is Morgan at about 1 week of age. Her eyes really aren’t open all that much, so we sure enjoy when she decides to wake up and look around! Her schedule is still somewhat backwards - she tends to be awake from about 9 or 10 at night until 1 or 2 am. But she’s starting to sleep for longer stretches at night (3.5 to 4 hours vs. 2.5!), so Mom is enjoying a little more sleep too.
Our beautiful daughter, Morgan Grace, was born Friday Dec 29th at 8:05 pm. She weighed 6 lbs 7 oz, and was 19.5 inches long.
