IT'S A BOY!!!!
Alhamdulillah, two weeks ago, we were
blessed with a baby boy. It was a wonderful day for our family for two
reasons. The first because we were blessed with our child and the
second reason is because we five brothers sat down at the same
table after 25 years. I wrote about it in my previous post how we have
never been together since the last 25 years. So Allah blessed our
family with two beautiful moments in one day. Alhamdulillah! We have named him Yusuf. Here's
his picture at the hospital:

Folks....seriously....I don't know where he got his double chin from... :) It can't be me cause I have more than two...lol... j/k
It's interesting how my wife was telling me that many ladies in the hospital had just delivered their first child and they were in their late 30's.
Please pray for us. Mother and child are doing well and Ramadhan is coming up...which means I have to get ready for Taraweehs.
The following is a picture of my nephews and nieces along with my kids taken when they all were here a few weeks ago:

Masha Allah....
