Last week's weather

We had a long week last week. Mostly because Ella had ear infections in BOTH ears that was making for long days and even longer nights. But she is very good at sharing and passed a cold onto mommy too, so I went down for the count. We were starting to recover by Friday though and here are some photos to show our fun afternoon Thursday. We had to get out of the house after 4 days of solitary confinement! We had a relaxing afternoon at the park watching baseball and playing together.

In this slideshow are some of the photos from Thursday, both in our backyard at home, and from the park. We hope you enjoy them in good health!

Teaser of Photos to come!

Happy Birthday Mike!!!

Your daughter (Ella) has an ear infection! What a great present!!! Who knew that cuddling with your 2 yr old would be how you spent your 30th birthday? I can't think of anything sweeter.

We will post pictures from our celebration hopefully tomorrow.

Exciting professional news for me...I helped a friend buy a house today. Well at least get to the point of mutual acceptance. From here if all goes well they should close in early June. So keep your fingers crossed!!!

off to bed...so tired

Anatomy of a Smile...

Here is what Fin looks like before the smile...

Here is the warmup grin...

Here is the smile height with the tongue clearly visible.
His happiest smiles always have tongue.

The smile threatens to overwhelm him,
so he starts to pull his head back like a turtle.

And he is calm once more.

Pictures of Fin's smile will hopefully help with you form your own as you start your Tuesday mornings!

Best Wishes!
