MERRY CHRISTMAS!!



Merry Christmas, Everyone!! We hope you are well and reading this blog and in the warmth of your home!! We are very pleased to inform you that Joey made it safely to Indiana, with only minor delays due to the Indiana winter. We are also pleased to inform you that the 6 inches of snow and ice is finally melting!!
We were very fortunate to have an early Christmas with Matthew's entire family, which included a much treasured family portrait session. It was a very special time for us all, especially because we were able to visit with Matthew's brother Jacob, who lives in Oregon (We missed you Catherine !!), and partake in Grandma Sharon's famous clam chowder. We wish them safe travels as they spend the rest of the holiday season in sunny California.
It is our prayer that the winter weather allows us to travel to Georgia the day after Christmas, so we can spend the holiday with Nana, Papa, Great Papa, Aunt Julie, and Aunt Jodi. This will be Joey's first trip to Georgia, and we are all looking forward to the possibility of good, warm weather!! We are so very excited to get to actually spend Christmas with them, rather than experience it by web cam!!
We are looking forward to taking lots of pictures of our family festivities, and sharing them with you in our January blog!! Have a Wonderful Christmas, and a very Happy New Year!!

Love,
The Andrade Family

It's a Boy!!



Well, everyone, the secret is out!! It is a boy, and he was not shy about showing us. This picture was the very first view that he gave us. Matthew and I could do nothing but laugh. Like father like son!! He weighs in at 1#4oz at this point, and his anatomy and measurements are perfect so far!! We surprised Isaac with a balloon in the trunk of the car when we picked him up from school. We are very excited!! Keep your eyes peeled for more pictures in our Christmas Blog!!

Love,
The Andrade Family
