This is picture number 2 of Monkey! As you can see, 4 weeks REALLY make a difference. This time Monkey has arms, legs, and hands! Seeing Monkey do flips in my belly on the screen was a surreal experience for the two of us. I am convinced it was water ballet and its a girl, Adam is convinced it was fancy football footwork and its a boy...time will tell!

And now presenting............(drum roll please)........Baby Heller, aka Monkey!
This is the first picture of our newest family member taken at 8 weeks. At this point it is pretty much a blob with a heart beat, but it brought both Adam and I to tears nonetheless!

Somehow my grandfather's face has grown a bit more intense over the years, and my dad is trying his best to look serious for the camera, but once again, the groom will not be daunted. Adam, just like my dad, is trying hard to wipe the smug grin from his face. Nothing will get him down, he does NOT have to wear a ruffled tuxedo AND gets to marry a beautiful woman, again...what could be better?

This picture was taken almost 35 years ago at my parents wedding. The look on my gramp's face is priceless to me. My dad just looks thrilled, like nothing is going to get him down on this day...he has a ruffled tuxedo AND is about to marry a beautiful woman. What could be better?
