Share In Our Joy (Part 2)

Haley Amelia James was born (two weeks early)!

Date: August 16, 2014
Time: 4:57 am
Weight: 6 lbs
Length: 19 and a half inches
Cuteness: Off the charts...

She has brown hair and dark eyes. She is absolutely adorable and we cannot get enough of her.
We were discharged from the hospital a little over 48 hours after her birth, since both Haley and I were doing very good.

By God's grace I had the chance to give birth to Haley, so finally I can say that I gave birth! :) (Amy was born with an emergency C-section.)

Here are some pictures of our new bundle of joy:

Share In Our Joy (Part 1)

Dear family and friends,

Hope you are doing well!

This month was without a doubt one of the most exciting months we'e ever had! So much has happened. Let us share with you the highlights of these past few weeks. 

Becky and David moved to South Carolina

We really enjoyed living close to Becky, Chris' sister and her husband, David. But the time came for them to start a new chapter in their lives as David started Seminary at Columbia International University. It was hard to say goodbye, but we are also really excited for them. We look forward to see what God has in store for them. 

Paul and Jill Weaver came to visit

I'm afraid we don't have proof in form of a picture, so you just have to believe me. :) 

Paul and Jill are Word of Life missionaries serving in Hungary. They were on furlough (raising support) this summer, and since our church is one of their supporters, they came to visit and "update" us on what's going on in Hungary. You can read more about them and their ministry by clicking here. If you are interested in supporting them, please don't hesitate to contact them.

We were so happy to be able to see them again and to catch up. 

Baby Shower 

I had a surprise Baby Shower! Amy and I were invited to a Pool Party at one of our church member's place, and when we arrived it turned out to be Haley's Baby Shower! Boy, was I surprised! I was always hoping to have one (we don't have Baby Showers in Hungary), but never thought I would. 

(I learned about Baby Showers at Word of Life, and since we had Americans there, they wanted to organize one for me, but since Amy came 4 weeks early, we had to cancel the shower. So I never had one with Amy.)

I loved the shower and felt so loved! It is a very humbling but beautiful feeling!

Indianapolis Children's Museum

Finally we had the chance to visit the world's largest children's museum. I must say, I had higher expectations, but it was very interesting nonetheless. We spent 3 hours there and were able to look at many different things. 

Mom is here!

My mom finally arrived! She's been a tremendous help to us and we are so thankful for her. She celebrated her birthday here in the States for the very first time. We took her mini-golfing and she did great! We had a good time.

And now about the greatest news of all... (check out our next post)
