Hey Jude

How are you 8 already? 

It was just yesterday that I met you at the airport. You screamed your head off until I got a hold of you and sang this right into your ear for an ungodly amount of time. For his first year, that would be his go-to lullaby of choice. 

Jude on his 3rd birthday

Most high school kids freak out when they find out their parents are having another baby but I was so excited. Jude was and is such a fun member of our family. His sweetness knows no bounds and he is the baby through and through. We worried about what it would be like when a new baby was introduced into the family but he totally rose to the occasion as the best 6 year old uncle around.

In only 4 years, Jude will be walking Max to school at Blessed Sacrament. No doubt he'll teach him the ropes and show him the best spots to play on the playground. 

He's been quirky from the start...

And he can be a little sneaky...

 But he'll always be my sweet little brother.

Happy birthday baby Jude! I love you!
