And Baby Makes Four!

Jacob "Jake" Bima Murnane has arrived! Much to our surprise, the little guy showed up a full one week early. As things go, it was relatively quick delivery... we arrived at the hospital at 7:30pm and welcomed our son into the world at 10:36pm.

Our little pride and joy all bundled up. Just a few hours old.


Bella has been ultra excited and hyper since little Jake's arrival... she is a great big sister!


Icha smiles while little Jake takes a quick nap


Bella, Daddy and the boy smile


Icha's mom was on hand for the festivities


Bella smiles in front of her little brother while he takes a snooze in the 'baby room'


Bella shows she's ready to start baby sitting.... we might head off to Bali alone next weekend! :-)


After a few days in the hospital, we brought our boy home

Since Jake came a week early, Mark's parents missed his first few days. All is well though as "Ma" and "Pa" will be arriving here in Jakarta for a few weeks next Tuesday.

The Murnane Estate Continues to Grow

A couple of days ago we had a few landscapers come out and work some magic on our front yard. The results were pretty sweet! They say in about a month the grass will all be grown in... and the front of our house ought to look excellent. Just in time for the little boy and Bella to start their daily battles of soccer, football and other games of athletic prowess.

Pots, plants and lots of green now on display at the Murnane Estate.


The grass ought to be fully grown in by the time the Niners pick up their first win of the year.


Lots of nice plants ready to grow!


Yes... if you look closely, that is a mullet our landscapper is sporting!


Our sprawling back yard got a bit of a make over as well... new cinder blocks put in!
