Family Time

Jude is only one week old and already has had so many visitors - including much of his extended family who were eager to meet him!



As Kurt's Aunt puts it, "Welcome to parenthood...and remember you are not an island but a tree in the thick, dense in places, but a nurturing place of growth, the forest of deWitt, touched by many other forests', Strikwerda for example, and the Nicolian forest...the list is endless...yet the rain always comes from above, a gift and the necessity and sustainer of all life.." Beautiful words to describe the world Jude has entered.



Here are just a few of the supportive family members who have turned up with lots of love and support:



Proud Pops Strikwerda


Beaming Bepps Strikwerda



Also Proud Gazendam Grandparents


Oh so proud Auntie Naomi


Getting tired from all this visiting, that's a lot of names and faces to learn!
