Our life, so far

Happy Chanukah, everyone! The best gift of all, wouldn't you agree?

Whew! Isaac has had a busy social schedule in the past 6 weeks... Meeting Gramps and Gram Hoskey Playing with new friend Griffin Meeting HTFRSDW (don't worry, Isaac, you won't have to learn her "nickname" for several years...) With Granny & "Aunt Karen" Smiles from best friends And Uncle Trav, Aunt Amy & Rocket came for Thanksgiving! Keep coming back for more pix!

There's a reason everyone told us to get enough sleep before the baby arrived. Yes, we now mostly just have time for Isaac/Rondo and his feeding and sleeping schedule! Happily, it has not hindered our photography efforts too severely. So, here are some random photos from the past three weeks with sweet baby Isaac (aka Rondo): Just after birth Meeting "Granny DoDo" in the hospital (note: Grandma naming rights went to the first-born grandchild ) Like father, like son Finally home! Meeting the gentlest of the five pets Playing with new toys Ready for the Redskins to win!

We are thrilled to announce the birth of ISAAC WASYL HOSKEY He arrived at 6:23 pm on Wednesday, November 5th 8 pounds 20 inches Full head of light brown hair Dark blue eyes (The baby is named Isaac after Curry's grandfather, whose middle name was Irvin, and great-grandfather, and Wasyl after George's great-grandfather.) (You didn't think we'd REALLY name him Rondo, did you???) We just got home yesterday, so...more photos to come!

We have such bright, thoughtful friends...they came up with the perfect game for our baby shower!   Here are the finalists-- Who would YOU have picked as the winner?

(x-posted to Rita Book ) ...and for those few of you who still read this, it's old news, but here goes: WE ARE PREGNANT! Yes, it's finally happened! We are due on November 15th. We haven't found out the gender, but Jorge is convinced it's a boy, and has already picked out what sports the boy will play and which teams the boy will root for. One of those goofy baby countdowns will probably be posted soon!

Sorry we haven't posted in so long.  We have indeed been traveling... back & forth to the Cape... to Salt Lake City, to see little Eden graduate...  to Las Vegas, to watch Mom officiate at cousin Dr. Little Rob and Ann's wedding... to Mohawk, to celebrate Ron's birthday in July... to Austin, to meet the cutest, sweetest nephew in all the world...  to Myrtle Beach, to celebrate Michael & Mia's oceanfront wedding... and to Philadelphia, to finish off the year with yet another wedding--cousin Michael-man to Stacy.   Here's to 2008!
