Is February over yet?

Grammy's visit was marked by a trip to the Children's Museum, where cat faces were drawn on in the weird light.


Otherwise, we've been hanging out, trying to get out of the house at least once a day so as to not go stir crazy. Aviva's has endured trips to Rural King and Big Lots among other notable Evansville shopping options, a birthday party, several walks around the YMCA indoor track, a thwarted attempt to spend time in the office (we had to leave due to electrical fire) and more.

What's to report? Aviva likes the sling and bouncy seat and still bears the stump. Lilah helps change dipes but is otherwise fairly squirrely (although the recipient of many generous presents). I'm eating too many Twizzlers, and Ariel and Pretty Pony are ready for Mardi Gras. Note Cinderella being carried off by an elephant in the background.

Big eyes at home on day 3.

Spring has arrived

Aviva Angeline Rogel came on Saturday 1/31 at 9:40 am at a whopping 9.7 pounds and 22 1/4 inches. We're home and ok! Many more pics to come, I'm sure ...
