Four weeks (and a smile!)

Emily has been amazing us with new skills, talents, sounds and smiles daily! It's amazing what a difference a week makes. She's a fiery little girl - never missing a meal or sitting in a wet diaper for more than a few moments without strong objections. As usual I don't have much time to update, but I wanted to take a moment to share her precious smile. I think I even witnessed a few giggles this morning. The absolute joys of being a new/first time parent - it's so rewarding!


Ok, so it may look like a mid-yawn, but it was a really BIG smile!

3 weeks!

In honor of Emily's 3 week birthday, here's a slide show of her many faces:

Spring!

Spring is here! I know because my nose has been my nemesis the last 2 weeks with all the pollen floating around. Also, things are blooming! And Paul has had to mow twice. It's great to see some color return to the great outdoors.

The rosemary has bloomed once again and its tiny blue-purple blooms amaze me.


Our Eastern Red Bud tree has also bloomed and its heart shaped leaves are really beginning to take shape.


The weather is just too gorgeous for me to be inside. I'm off to do something... most likely nap. :)
