Life with Danielle

Here's a sample of what life is like with Danielle:

Playing in the swimming pool--she has a sippy cup so she won't spend all her time trying to drink the water. Every time she's around water she's suddenly dying of thirst!


Her first taste of ketchup--she seemed to like it and didn't make too big a mess


She's very into climbing right now

Pictures from my parents' visit

My parents came to visit for a few days and helped with both the baby and some home projects. I was supposed to take it easy for about 2 weeks (per the doctor), so my dad and Ryan finished up the front landscaping. I'm thrilled, because I've been wanting to overhaul the front yard since we moved in, and there was too much other stuff to do in the fall, so it's nice to get it off my to-do list. The visit was great, and too short, as always.
