Our nephew was due to be born on Monday, January 25th...which would have been cool because that day just happens to be my brother, Bryce's birthday. However, Jude decided to hang out a few extra days, which allowed us to be at the hospital when he was finally born on February 3rd, 2010.
Jude was born at 2:49pm and weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long. What a cute little bundle of joy.
Jenn asked Valerie and I if we would want to be in the delivery room for Jude's birth, so we were able to be there for the miracle of his birth. Jenn is a champ!
One of my favorite parts of the whole day was when Caleb arrived to meet his new baby brother. He was overjoyed and could hardly contain his excitement...at least until the french fries arrived and he decided to try sharing with Jude. :)
While we were in Seattle, waiting for Jude's arrival, we were able to spend some time with friends. It was great to see Chase, Kim and Finn, Trevor & Heather, Kyle & Kelly, as well as Matt's family. We were also able to go to our old small groups. It was so good to see my girls!
We went to the Snoqualamie Taproom and Brewery with Trevor and Heather and had pizza and beer. Kind of a hole-in-the-wall place, but it was really good cheap beer. :)
We had a great time hanging out with Lance and Val and Jaz. It was also really good to see Ryan for the first time in a year.
Another highlight of the trip was the multiple games of Super Mario Brothers on the Wii. Matt and I played with Greg and Joanne, Lance and Val, Trevor and Heather, and Ryan and Gary. This game proves to be my favorite Mario Brothers game because 4 people can play at once...funny memories.

After Jude was born we were able to hang out with family for a couple more days and then it was time to come back to Colorado. It was so nice to be there to see everyone and meet our newest nephew! Luckily for us, we will be back in Seattle for a few weddings this summer, so we will be able to see everyone again soon!
