Welcome to the World, Son

This is Jude Daniel Klooster. He was born on November 20 at 12:43 a.m. He weighed 6 lbs, 10 oz. and was 20 inches tall.

Jude means "praise". His middle name is for his uncle Dan Steven (1976 - 2002).

Hey Jude. We love you already.

I'll post his birth story soon :)

Oh...my...goodness...what a precious little pea! Such a great picture. We are so happy for you and Jono. And by the way, I LOVE his name.

Love, Julie

He's the most adorable little guy I have ever seen; he's more alert than most babies; he's already got the hang of nursing; he slept almost the whole first the night; oh, and I think I already saw a smile :), at grandma, of course.

He is simply beautiful! What a precious, precious gift from God!! I LOVE the picture-without any words spoken it shows the depth of both of your love for him-in Emily's face & in Jono how he captured the picture.

Em, I stopped up this afternoon while you were finally getting some rest, Grandma Belinda was in her glory cuddling with Jude and Jono had just called to say he'd be back in 15 mintues - already missing you guys. You are very blessed! Honored to have been near by for the birth and to see you all so soon afterwards! I agree that he is very alert and has beautiful eyes!

Congratulations Jono & Emily,
You made a perfectly beautiful little boy. What a great picture, it captures the sweet innocence of the moment so well. It is going to be wonderful having a cute and cuddly little baby around this Christmas. We are so very happy for you!
Love,
Melissa & Joel
