The Hopkins Family: December 2008

Sorry for taking so long to update the blog, but the funniest thing happened...Wisdom and Truth started growing and needing attention. Long gone are the days when we could just swaddle them up, feed them a lil' bit, lay them down on their back and walk away. Now they have wake time and like for you to be within their line of sight. And what do they enjoy the most....being held. But it is all good, 'cause we love holding them :-)

W&T are 2 months now. They got their first round of shots (that wasn't fun) a couple weeks ago, so we have been able to take them out. Guess what??? They are both the same size (9 pounds). It is amazing how big they are. Everyone said how fast they would grow.

We all went to grand-parent Hopkins for Thanksgiving and almost the whole Keys family was there. Wisdom and Truth sure enjoyed all the love they were receiving. We went to church for the first time last week. It was great to share them with their church family. We hope that one day Truth and Wisdom can understand how many people truly love them and have been praying for them.

How is Shannon??? Well, she is as FINE as ever. She has lost all but about 10 of the pounds she had put on. Her incision is about 95% healed. She gave herself a new haircut (bangs) and it looks great. Her hair is so thick and healthy it actually looks like a wig.

How is Bryan??? He is hangin' in. The fall semester is about over, so he gets a break from school until February. In February, he will double his load to 2 classes. Bryan has retained about 12 of the 15 sympathy pounds he gained...but it's all good.

As you will see in a few clicks...Truth and Wisdom are the most beautiful lil' babies (of course there is a lil' parental bias in there :-)
