It's been a while since we've posted any pictures....things have been a bit busy here! Wow is it ever true when people say how the days fly and nothing seems to get done with a newborn around the house!!

Daddy's still home from work so it's been a real treat with all 3 of us around here. Thanks for all of the phone calls, cards and generous gifts!! It's really been a treat!

On to the good stuff....here's the most recent picture of Lydia, taken yesterday right before bath time. The rest of the blog is in chronological order, just thought we'd start it off with a cute picture of just Lydia.

September 19th- Lydia's 8 days old. We went to Jill's to meet up with Lydia's new girlfriends!
