a baby blessing

 We were thrilled to be able to bless Kaia at church today and so grateful my parents could be here for the blessing.  My mom made Kaia's gown from my wedding dress, just like she did for Zoey. It is a beautiful blessing gown - absolutely perfect.

surviving...

...is what we're doing.

The warm weather this past week lifted my spirits and gave me the confidence I needed to get out and about a little more.  Successes this week included a trip to Target, a trip to Costco, a morning at the library, and TWO mornings at the park.  Hold your applause, please.

My baby is no longer a newborn - but still very, very cute, Zoey's little neighbor friend gave her a bicycle - which she can't ride but loves to sit on with her helmet, and mommy and daddy are surviving.  What more can we ask for? (Actually, I have along list of things I need...)
