After months of anticipation (10 months to be exact), Zach got to meet his new baby brother on Monday the 20th. Tristan decided to begin his move into this world Sunday afternoon, and finally arrived at 3:24 Monday afternoon. Zach spent two days with Miss Tara (who we owe MANY thanks) and met Tristan Tuesday morning. We made a quick trip over to the pediatrician and discovered Zach has an ear infection, so we've got antibiotics started and already seen a marked improvement in Zach this week. We have had a few quiet days here in the house after bringing Tristan home Tuesday afternoon, and enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Day today. Santa came and brought some gifts for Zach and Tristan, and the whole family really enjoyed a day together at home with plenty of Love and Joy to go around. We hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas, and a prosperous upcoming New Year. Love - Brian + Kimmie

It's incredible how fast time goes by. It doesn't seem all that long ago we were posting on the day Zach was born, and here we are posting pictures from his 2nd birthday! It has been a magical couple of years filled with prayer, hope, healing, and lots of Love. We are so very thankful that God has blessed us with Zachary, and all the joy he gives us each and everyday.
The past month has been busy with Thanksgiving, Ilaria's 1st birthday, visits with Santa, and Zach's birthday. We haven't had many free days or open weekends, but it has all been a lot of fun. Now we begin the countdown to Christmas and the arrival of a new addition to the Zurliene family.
We hope you all enjoy a blessed holiday season, and we are very grateful for all the love, support, and prayers you have given us over the past two years. God Bless All of You, and Merry Christmas!
Love, Brian + Kimmie
