She's here...

and she's wonderful!

Our sweet little Adele Mae finally arrived at 2:11 am on January 18th. 9lbs 2 oz. and 21 inches long. A thick, soft head of dark brown hair and a calmness that is just lovely... 

She is named after two lovely and very important women in our lives. 

My mother in-law Patricia Adele and my grandmother Vera Mae.

Many more pictures to come!

A little of this...

::A little window shopping at Target - love this line!::

::A lot of tea partying around here with the new set the bug got for Christmas::

Special days...

Sharing a few special days with my girl while it is still just the two of us... We took advantage of the free week at the Chinese gardens and a sunny yet brisk day. Such a lovely memory of time with her in the tea house and wandering around the gardens.

this day...

::Making me smile::

::How adorable is she!::

::Knitting for some chubby little one year old legs - better late than never friend::

::So hopeful and lovely::

::This little one just keeps on reassuring us with a strong heartbeat::

The busying

::My wonderful foot rubbing team - they have spoiled me!::

::A place to jump and play on a rainy day::

The waiting

::Ringing in the new year with a day full of art projects and homemade green slime::

::Preparing a place for grandparents to stay over and help with the kiddos::

::Taking boat rides with Tigger while out picking up last minute items for baby::

::Celebrating the life of one wonderful hubby and papa to my bug::

December round-up

Well, I made it through a year of the photo a day challenge - so fun to look back on! I won't be trying for a second year as life is a little extra hectic now, but you will still be seeing glimpses into our days around here...
