Strawberry Sweater

Our friend Kerry crocheted this sweater for Katie. Katie wore it today for the first time.

It might be worth noting that in addition to her sweater and her diaper, Katie was wearing only a onesie. Although her father believed that it was cool enough to warrant a sweater, her chubby little legs were completely bare (but covered in a blanket). It was quite a stylish outfit.

Auntie Stephanie and her niece

This is my sister-in-law Stephanie with Katie, on the last morning of her two-week visit, before she returned to Nova Scotia. We wish she lived closer. About the only reason we were glad for the end of her visit was because it meant that Geoff and I could stop sleeping in the same room with Katie, because OY, Katie does not sleep well that way anymore. (Five wakings in a night was relatively GOOD, if that gives you any idea what I mean.)
Geoff took this picture. He misses his sister. I miss her, too.

Fallen

Rebecca and Stephanie and I walked over to Millennium Park on Monday during the lunch hour. There were lots of kids playing in the fountain, including two little pre-school age girls, who ran around and around in a circle that was half-in and half-out of the water.

Right when I turned around to take a picture of one of the little girls, she fell down, and this is the picture I got.

I don't think I've ever looked nearly so serene on any of the occasions when I've fallen.

And here it is, the hat.

Just because I'm her mother doesn't mean I'm wrong when I say that she's the cutest baby girl in the whole world. (At least she is to me.)

Sunday Picnic

Yesterday we went to Geoff's church's summer picnic, and Geoff's sister Stephanie took this picture of us. My eyes look a little tired (rightly so, I'm sure), but otherwise it's a nice picture.

Katie's dress is a gift from Stephanie. There's a matching hat - I'll have to post a picture of her in the hat tomorrow.
