Noah meets Hana

Hana came prepared. She brought a big, stuffed doggy and collection of colorful ducks for her older brother, Noah. I think she won him over.


Hana's gift to Noah.

First thing Noah noticed as he came in the door.

Meeting his new baby sister Hana.

Loving the ducks.

Trying out Mom's hospital bed.

And then there was four.

Introducing Hana Frances Sandra Tisdall

Dear Friends & Family,

We are delighted to announce the arrival of our daughter (Noah's baby sister), Hana Frances Sandra Tisdall.

Hana was born just prior to noon - Wednesday, June 30th in Dubai. Hana's weight was 7lbs 4 oz and she has a little bit of brown hair. She has already made her Mom & Dad very happy.

Here are a couple of first photos. We hope you will be able to meet Hana in person very soon but in the meantime, we will do our best to update our blog.

Love,
Angela, Jeff, Noah & Hana

Off to the Hospital

Noah is in bed, the car is packed and we are off to the American Hospital in Dubai. We have decided to get a little help kick-starting the labour process. We are looking forward to meeting P2!


Off to the hospital!

Checked-In.

Waiting for things to start happening.

39+ Weeks

Only 3 days to P2's due date! Looking forward to meeting s/he soon.

Happy Father's Day!

Noah & I treated Dad to morning coffee at Starbucks, followed by breakfast at Shakespeare Cafe. In the afternoon, the boys played a little street hockey, then finished with a special book 'Just Me & my Dad'.

Happy Father's Day!

Escaping the Heat

With temperatures in the mid-forties, we decided we had to find a chilled pool. Off to Hayya, we go!

Our water baby!

New Bike Seat

After our trip to Mauritius, we decided that a bike seat for Noah would a great idea. So we made good on our word and finally got around to purchasing one and getting it mounted on Jeff's bike. While the inaugural ride was short (40+ degrees out), Noah and Dad had fun.

37 Weeks

We are at 37 weeks - full term!

We have been trying to prepare Noah for the arrival of a brother or sister but are pretty sure it hasn't quite registered. When asked 'where is the baby?'', sometimes he will point to my belly (proud parents), other times Jeff's belly and often his own. He has even pointed to Tigger's belly???

The Day The Rooster Came to Town...

This afternoon, Noah and I came home to a rooster in our front yard. We told him he can keep it, if it is there in the morning.

Some say they are good luck - we are not sure what it means.
