Almost 1 month...

Though Lydi's due date is technically tomorrow...July 19th...her actual birthday is June 22nd which makes her almost 3 and 1/2 weeks old. I'm writing this as everyone is just finishing up a nap on this beautiful summer Saturday afternoon (she kept everybody up a bit last night :>) But...we are so thankful for her!

It has been fun to catch 2 intentional smiles yesterday...one to me and one to Laura...and Lydia is pretty strong...she actually managed to flip herself over already and then frantically wailed in surprise. The kids continue to be very very helpful and want to spend tons of time with her. Probably the biggest transition has been just trying to get places with 4 again...and this time with them a bit older and involved in more activities, but we are slowly figuring it out and she is so much fun! Laura, Lydi & I even managed to hit a few garage sales with Aunt Jenn this morning!
