Hanging out

Yikes - we've meant to post more pictures for awhile now - our baby is already three weeks old! Katie had a nasty cold which is finally seeming to abate - so now we can function, and blog, once again!

Sleeping beauty...such a calm second child thus far. She seems to enjoy schlepping along with us everywhere - we were delighted at how enriching this must be for a newborn, until we realized that for now she sleeps through all of these enriching experiences!

Strolling along at the zoo - Abbie belongs with the monkeys. Really, we've entered a climbing phase - watch out she climbs everything! And then sometimes she can't get down...is it bad if I'm tempted to leave her up there for awhile so I can get something done?! :-)

Papa and Abbie communing with the polar bear during Papa's visit.

Daddy and Isabel hanging out...she thinks his ticker sounds pretty good and really seems to enjoy listening to it :-)


The girls and Papa during his visit - it was nice to have an extra set of hands and some good company during the week!

Abigail and Isabel - future Luther grads?! The grooming starts early...:-)

Whoosh! Poised and ready to go... we take this sliding business pretty seriously around here :-)
