Cole week 2

Cole Vanderwood

The Lord blessed us earlier this week as we welcomed Cole Vanderwood Bloch into this world on September 10th...he was born around 12:30pm and was 6lbs 9oz and 19in. He came home on Friday and has been eating and sleeping ever since. I had to change the color scheme of this blog a little bit because it's no longer just about the life and times of Lyla D. now that Cole V. is in the house. In case you don't live in Michigan and are wondering about his middle name...Vanderwood is Cole's great-grandmother Theresa's maiden name. Her father Gerritt Vanderwood is where my middle name comes from.
