Our first Mother's Day!






Today we spent a lovely afternoon walking and napping in the gardens at the Franciscan monastery, and visiting the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (dedicated to Mary). What a blessing to be wrapped in the warm sun and glorious spring colors with my loving family. I continue to grow in admiration for my own mothers and I celebrate your gifts of gentle and generous love.

New skills: eating and sitting!





I'm sorry it has been so long since I've posted! I'll just have to catch up a little at a time. We started Julia on rice cereal this week for her 6-month birthday and she loves it. We give her a spoon to play with while she eats and she lost it during one meal - see the photo for where it was hiding. She can sit so well by herself now and even play for a little while before toppling over. Hooray for back muscles!
