February in Review (a lost post from March 3)

March came in like a lion here, albeit a very gentle lion--maybe a cub who's been declawed. In other words, it snowed lightly, school wasn't cancelled, and the winter continues to be absurdly mild.

Here's our February in review:

Dave, his parents and siblings at Uncle Bill's funeral reception

The boys hugging, then roughhousing, as usual...

We had a lovely visit from Auntie Jenny, Fiona and Mica (he's the dog):

Yep, Will still thinks he's of the canine persuasion.

Here was Valentine's Day:

Will made his "King Valentine" crown at preschool.

They proceeded to call themselves Baby Bunting

and take turns in the laundry basket:

They also took turns putting each other to bed

and giving goodnight kisses.

Here are my boys hiding in their box-cave because

"The bear's comin'! Hunters are comin'!"

In the middle of the month, Mindy had her beautiful baby girl:

The original Isis seven went out for dinner to celebrate Noon Baby #3;

the girls got these fantastic tee-shirts for Will and Finn.

 "Biggest Brother Will"

 "Big Brother Finn"

And here's Big Brother Finn in action,

"snuggling the New March Baby!" as he likes to say.

This baby is seriously lucky in the big brother department.

Happy start to March, everyone!

Twelve Days of Bridget

Today is St. Patrick's Day (Slainte!) and my due date, AND Bridget's twelfth day here.

 I wasn't kidding about her feet.

 Despite a bilirubin scare (she's fine) and some nursing woes (we're fine),

this is the first time I have truly been able to enjoy the very newborn days.

Well, not the days exactly--or the nights, per se--but the newborn herself.

She is just delicious.
