work

When I go to work now, I feel muted 

From my boys

Abel and Cyrus picked these for me. I frequently remind them that Mommy loves flowers and they can give them to me anytime. Yesterday was an "anytime."

Playing Dress Up

Brian says some people have too much fun playing dress up. 

worth a thousand words

This little set of people fill my world right now. I posed them several weeks ago, pajama clad and ready to start a new day.

My favorite things about their stages right now: listening to Abel talk; watching Cyrus' hilarious creativity; dressing Kathryn in adorable outfits ALL the time.

Introducing Kathryn Grace Reames!

She joined our family yesterday at 7:44 AM. She weughed 6 pounds 8ounces and was 19 inches long. She is doing well and the doctors are letting us leave the hospital sometime today. I look forward to introducing you to her in person. She is a lovely baby and makes lots of cute faces. She also has a huge lower pouty lip which I'm sure she will try to use to her advantage with her Dad and big brothers...

Ride

It's nice to live on a quiet road where sled rides can occur right down the tire tracks. 

Cider time

Abel and Cyrus helped Grandpa make some cider.
