Isaiah's Second Day . . .

What better thing to do when you first wake up than . . . hold a new baby brother!
Elisabeth told us, "I am so happy that I have the privilege of being the oldest. . . so that I can hold the baby the most!"
Just waking up. . .
Our first family picture, as a family of six!
Sweet little baby, all cuddly and new! "Do you think he looks like me?" Susanna smiles with little Isaiah.
We were praying that Samuel wouldn't struggle too much with jealousy. . .he is such a Papa and Mama's boy, always loving to be held and cuddled. Well, the Lord has answered our prayers! We have never seen a toddler that loved a new baby so completely! He gazes at "Baby" with loving eyes and watches and watches. . . and is always quick to ask to hold and kiss the baby!

What beautiful pictures... and precious children!!!
Your blog makes us feel much closer... I enjoyed showing the pictures to friends here today!!
...I wonder how old will little Isaiah be when we get the privilege of holding him and whether that will be in Japan, Peru or Virginia...

Taira has been excitedly talking about his new baby cousin!!!

We love you and are praying for you daily!!!
Tomoki, Angela, Taira & Yoshiki
