Patiently waiting...

...for her turn with the photographer during Bea's newborn photoshoot. Playing dress-up works wonders for passing the time.

tuckered out

It has been quite a ful week and we are all exhausted. Grandma was here all week to help out, and I made the most of having an extra pair of adult hands around by making trips to the mall, downtown, hair salon, etc.
Obviously I am way behind on the blog but plan to catch up next week. In the meantime, hope you enjoy the photo of tuckered out little Roly after her bath tonight.

First Week as a Family

The first week at home as a family of four was pretty special. 

There was a whole lot of just sitting and staring in awe of our new addition...

And a really great walk around the neighborhood on a gorgeous day...

Some family photos...

...And a whole lot of conversations that were variations on the same theme: we are so lucky, so grateful, so amazed, so in shock and just so happy.  *Thank you*

Josie: "Yay!!! Does Grandma make milk?"

Going Home!

On our way...

by the way, I have a video on my phone of the moment Josephine and Beatrice first met. But, it will require some editing, because right now it's too long for youtube. Home to get it up this weekend!
