Our very own six pound bundle of joy


Ever since Mallory's arrival, we've been subjected to an overwhelming amount of love and joy. Family and friends have showered us with cards and gifts and an abundance of food. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Today I dropped into the girls' school for a special parent lunch to cap off Catholic School's Week. Jo and CoCo proudly presented their new baby to countless schoolmates and teachers and parents. Each and every person who gazed at her tiny peaceful face (nestled in her carseat) had the same joyful reaction. 

Heartfelt smiles appeared and spread around the room instantaneously.
This baby has an infectious influence you wouldn't believe.

Lately CoCo has been asking what makes people happy. She learned from a Veggie Tales movie (Madame Blueberry) that happiness can't be bought at a store. She also figured out that getting good sleep makes Mommy happy.

Yesterday Cokes spent all day in her PJs. She read books and painted in the sunroom and helped me bake a batch of cookies. While she patiently waited for me to finish nursing Mallory, CoCo declared,

Babies make people happy!

We are so blessed.
