Wren's Arrival

Wren Frances Jay was born on March 15, weighing 8 lb. 2 oz. and stretching 21.5 in.
We're all at home and doing fine.

In the Garden

Eric started prepping our vegetable garden Friday afternoon...
Harper thought that was right on...

Early Spring...?

With a high near 80 degrees on Thursday, we spent most of the day outside enjoying an early hint of spring...

Birthday Weekend

Harper had a great birthday weekend, involving lots of sugar, gifts, friends, and family.
On Friday, we celebrated with (l-r) Carrie, Josh (their boys Andre and Will not in photo, probably off pummeling Bozo) Matt, Heather, Jesse, and Jonah...Harper and Jonah investigated Mr. Potato Head...Ladybug cupcakes for dessert...

On Saturday, Gammi, Guppi, Jack, Gigi, and Granddad Ray came to visit...
Jack gave H a ride around the house...It was monkey cake for dessert...It was a cold weekend, but we had great fun regardless...

Two Old

"Two old!" That's how old Harper says she will be tomorrow. She opened a gift from Gammi and Guppi early, this great little wooden kitchen.

Spoons are overrated...
But not bracelets! A girl can never have too many...

Details and Dinner

The stairs in relation to the slope of the kitchen floor are a reminder of how much "character" our home has...

H loves the finished floors...
Out of the boxes and onto shelves...
The kitchen sink...
Pantry and hiding spot...
New window treatments in H's room...

It was a dinner too lovely not to photograph (delicious, too): Dutch oven bread, citrus/herb olives, baked Mediterranean shrimp, and molten chocolate cakes...

Happy Heart Day!

Our little valentine...

And a valentine from my parents...yum!

A look at Struct/Restruct's (Eric's company) nearly completed project on 933 Delaware in Lawrence. The transformation has been amazing to watch...
