Sumi cracks me up again.....

Sumi is a lover of all things soft. I can already tell that keeping him out of our baby stuff is going to be a challenge...

For Nate and Emily....

I have not seen my brother Nate and his wife Emily for nearly a year now, since they moved to NYC! So.. as promised.. a belly picture for them!

We are spoiled! Shower #2 at Stacie's!

My dear friend Stacie hosted a baby shower for me this past weekend... many ooh's and aah's over the darling baby stuff that I received!

One very special gift from Stacie were 2 paintings... one of each of my dogs! She is becoming quite the talented painter. I love them!

Also, Deidre and Cortney drove up from Seattle for the day just to be with me... the best gift of all was having all of my girlfriends together for an afternoon!

Family Baby Shower

My sister in law, Katy, was kind enough to host a baby shower for me this past Sunday. Lots of family, and lots of darling baby things!

Isn't the picture of Katy's daughter, Madeleine, and her cousin, Ka'ela just the cutest??

In an effort to get in the habit of maintaining this blog, I have decided to pick one of my favorite subjects... my niece, Madalyn Baye. She is 11 years old, and one of the neatest individuals that I've met.... She has such a sweet nature, and I just love her to pieces. She is excited to have a new little cousin, although she was hoping for a girl.

Maddie is a lover of animals... all animals. She can't get enough of animal planet and Meerkat Manor. She is pictured to the left with her dad (my brother), Jamie and his wife Felicia. We are so blessed to have Maddie in our lives.....
