Dad's a fabulous burper

this is definitely a life skill when you have a munchkin.

World Traveler!

Its official! We received Elsie's passport this morning so we are set for our England Holiday. I still think its crazy she needs a passport, but the US government thinks she could be a terrorist. I guess some people could be threatened by her stink bombs. (she looks a little freaked out here - its the first time we told her we were headed on vacation - she's like me, a nervous traveler)


** Mark was concerned that elsie's identity might be stolen and ruin her perfect credit score so I blurred out the numbers just in case. :)

My New Office ...

elsie and I have transitioned my office down to the masterbedroom - she hasn't learn to type yet, but we will be working on that next week.

Relaxin' with Dad...

Weekend Visitors

This weekend we had two visitors ... Grandpa Kevin and Aunt Chloe. Grandpa was here for Elsie's birth but went home while Grammie Doula stayed for a couple weeks - he flew in on Friday to spend the weekend and then drive grammie home. It was bittersweet to see him since we knew grammie had to leave on sunday. There were lots of tears (I am post partum after all) and now comes the true test of being a mom (on my own).

Here's the bean all swaddled up with Grandpa.


Auntie Chloe arrived Friday night and was eager to snuggle the smudgekin ...


Elsie was already telling Aunt Chloe about all the great things she had planned for the weekend - sleeping, eating and of course pooping. Auntie chloe was very impressed!
