Congrats to the US!

Over 64 million people spoke on Tuesday... and the best part is that they spoke in unison and started the movement that I hope will bring change to American politics.

I'm stoked, excited, thrilled, in awe, shocked, amazed, and proud of my country. I have faith that this will allow my Amélie to grow up in a respectful and thoughtful country.

The beginning...

It's been a while since we've chatted, which probably means it's summer. Thank GOD for summer. I've been relaxing, playing with the babe, and enjoying the weather by carrying canoes or frantically meeting friends for dinner in between tennis matches. All is well, the little A has two almost three teeth coming in and she is close to crawling. Does it seem like yesterday I was trying to cram in my first year finals in between having a baby? Wow.

It seems like many new friends have arrived... Lily, Sumalee, Wyatt, and Gretta. We are thrilled and super excited to play soon. For those of you looking seeking a nanny-for-hire, I feel extremely special to have secured one that I know pays attention to the munchkin and loves her almost as much as the mom. The grandpa even delivers bouquets in the morning as he greets the family. Ummm, jealous yet?? Sorry, he's taken...
Oh, and it's almost been two years since the dad & mom have been married. What are we doing this anniversary weekend, you ask? We're taking a short drive to be part of a very special wedding with which the mom has the pleasure of serving as a maid to the bride. It should be a good time spent with great friends. Even though the A won't be attending, we will definitely update with photos of the soon-to-be gorgeous bride.

One more thing, this is A's favorite new video. A special song shared by mom & A in their first days together.



Remember to enjoy every minute of the summer. It's way too short.

Summer Snacks

Life is good. We've been enjoying the calm of the summer. Our house is so inviting this summer, even so much that cardinals have built a nest in our flower basket. We're eagerly awaiting the sight of five little baby birds.



Amélie continues to get bigger. For real, this girl is heavy, her thighs are huge, and she grows fuzz in her fat rolls. I think she would eat anything. Here is the proof. The poor cardinals look as though they'll be fatherless.
