David Arrives
Late Saturday night, May 29 2010, we received acall for an emergency adoption placement. David
Alexander Snow was born in Bethlehem, PA weighing
in at 4lbs 13 oz. We rushed down early the next
morning to meet David for the first time. Being a
little small, they wrapped him up like a little burrito
and moved him to the Neo-natal intensive care unit
and kept him warm and cozy. He stayed at the
hospital for over a week as he gained a little weightand kept his temperature up.
Where am I?
The burrito is warmed up and
ready to go home

Baptism Oct 2010
The christening gown is over 100 yrs old
and was worn by his great great
Grandfather. David is adding his distinctive
mark to the gown and showing he is still all
male despite wearing a dress.
The fount leaked badly. I am looking at
the pool of Holy Water on the floor. Myshoes are Vampire proof.
The hand off. It was important to not
drop the baby during he ceremony as
that would have reflected poorly on my
parenting skills.
If you look closely you can see the
heathenness leaving him. We laugh
at his ordeal.

Happy child

Davids Birth Family
David has an open adoption, which means he gets to visit
his birth family periodically through the year. It also
means he ends up with extra presents and lots of people
loving on him. This works out very well because the boy
loves being the center of attention and he is happy with
so many great people doting on him.
