Last weekend Alex and I went down to Disney to celebrate Inga's 90th birthday. We had an amazing time with the Holzka/Gurn family - all 12 of us together in one place at the same time to celebrate Inga and the family. Happy Birthday Inga!

Hi everybody! I'm so excited about this blog. Thanks Melissa for keeping us all up to date!

Okay, enough exclamation points. Well, one more... we're having another boy! Aiden is really excited and points to my tummy and says "belly baby boy". Quite advanced (he has no idea what he's saying). We're really excited, I'm a bit scared about being outnumbered, but Aiden is in a mommy phase so for right now it's alright.

Josh has a new love in his life, the Subaru. Anyone who wishes to hear all the propoganda he can throw at you, please give him a call because I'm tired of hearing about it. It's actually a great car, our first big purchase together. And it's a station wagon. We even have the baby on board sign posted in back.

The pic is of Aiden circa June. Yes, he looks just like Josh although I think that might be my smile...

Hope everyone is doing well. We miss you guys!
-Christine

Brit Milah in South Carolia

On July 30th Hannah joined the Jewish community with a naming cermony. Her Hebrew name, Bella Aviva, comes from our maternal grandparents, Belle and Abraham.

We had a fabulous weekend in South Carolina visiting with Hannah, Stef, Rich, and my parents. She's absolutely adorable and looks just like mom. With her long fingers, we're thinking either classic painist or baskeball player...
