snuggle season

 We're in major snuggle season with a little baby around.

So much fun to play with

 and watch.

 Holding, 

loving,

and growing.

all in a week's work

Cameron's first week has been quite busy....

lots of this,

 some of that,

 watching big sister at her preschool program, 

 multi-tasking with big brother,

cotton ball extravaganza,

 meeting cousin Jonah! 

 

and witnessing lots of general holiday excitement!!

and now we are 6

We can't give our children the future, strive though we may to make it secure. But we can give them the present.

-- Kathleen Norris

Amidst the dark days of December and the humming buzz of holiday prep, we pause to welcome our baby and expand into a family of six.

 

 Little love, Cameron Emery, born on December 7.

A blessing among many,

 a reminder of life's intense and immense joys.

 Reason to pause, sit in awe

and savor life's greatest wonders....a baby.

ready or not

December is upon us, in all of its gray glory. We have been spending our waiting-for-baby days....

 making lists,

 loving the early snow, 

 stacking wood,

 finishing up projects (in our swimming suits of course),

and cleaning every possible nook and cranny.
