In 2007, we welcomed the arrival of our baby cousin - Elias.  By than Lydia was already 9 years old and had steady hands and strong arms to carry her baby cousin. 

Babies are such wonderful addition to the family.  While it is true there’s a lot of dedication and commitment and energy required to nurse, wash, feed the little bundle, it’s also amazing to watch them grow and see their senses develop.  God is truly amazing… understand that the first 24 months mark the most exponential growth of any human being.

Now Elias is a happy 3 year old boy, who eats well, communicates well, plays well … and is also a big brother to his baby Joshua ‘di-di’.
