"You need a push?"

"No thanks, I think I've got it covered"

"Umm, no really, you can let go now"

Portland Baby

When I let Cara walk around outside with no shoes, wearing only a diaper, my sister called her a Portland Baby. (Portland is the neighborhood where she used to live in Louisville.) So, this post is dedicated to all of our dear friends in Portland. Those who loved us without even knowing us and took such good care of Terre and Ethan during some of the hardest times in our lives. You are more special to us than you know!

Giving Aunt Terre a flower

Celebration!

A few weeks ago, you know, before I agreed to work two weekends in a row,

before I started a year long 2 day a week internship at the hospital,

before summer classes began,

before a well deserved two week break from school...

I finished Spring Semester!

In order to celebrate my last day of classes I spent the day with Cara, picked up a couple pizzas, and ate dinner at my parent's house. That's how we celebrate around here.

Day in the Park

The weather has been getting hotter but for a few weeks we had a nice spring. Cephas and I try to bring Cara to the park, or just let her play outside as much as possible. Not only do we think it is good for her overall health, she enjoys it-so it is not hard to convince her to go.

And she's off!

Easter

Am I really going to do an Easter post at the end of May? There are such cute pictures of the little one, I just can't resist.

Here she is with her easter basket.

We had an easter egg hunt at my parent's house

Cara wore a vintage smocked dress, one that her mother wore as a child
