Two Weeks

soooo.... two weeks doesn't seem like that long, but so much has happened!

First and foremost we'd love to introduce
Gideon Joseph Eugene Geary...

if you'd like to see his newborn photo shoot follow this link (there are nursing photos, tasteful, but just a warning) you can also order prints from the site Gideons Photo Shoot. 

He is now 7lb 2oz, he gained 14oz in 10 days, and has also grown a little over an inch in length...  I have to be honest, I was a little worried that maybe Denny nursing as well that I wouldn't produce enough to have him thrive, but he's doing well still got a pound and a half to catch up with big brother and sisters birth weights!!!

I'm going to try to post weekly (we'll see how that goes with three chitlens :) )

Last but not least... April is the month of the military child with there being 1.9 million military children in the US and currently 220000 of those have a deployed parent... I saw this circulating on the facebook and it really rang true with me:

"The official flower of the Military child is the Dandelion. Why? The plant puts down roots almost anywhere, and it's almost impossible to destroy. It's an unpretentious plant, yet good looking. It's a survivor in a broad range of climates. Military children bloom everywhere the winds carry them. They are hardy and upright. Their roots are strong, cultivated deeply in the culture of the military, planted swiftly and surely. They're ready to fly in the breezes that take them to new adventures, new lands, and new friends.

Experts say that military children are well-rounded, culturally aware, tolerant, and extremely resilient. Military children have learned from an early age that home is where their hearts are, that a good friend can be found in every corner of the world and in every color, and that education doesn't only come from school. They live history. They learn that to survive means to adapt, that the door that closes one chapter of their life opens up to a new and exciting adventure full of new friends and new experiences."
