a beautiful life: here's to new beginnings

Wow! I can't believe I have actually started a blog. I told myself I would never do this, but alas, here we are. I realized today that my sweet Sophie is already FIVE months old. I can't believe how time has flown. I hate to say it, but I've been terrible at documenting her little life. Then I thought that since I'm on the computer 92304982 hours per day, it would be easy for me to document little updates on life that I know will be treasures one day.

Life has been a little crazy the past few weeks. Over the last month or so my little family has had a combination of 4 cases of strep throat, an upper respiratory virus, and several colds. Does it ever end?! I thought since we lived in SoCal we would be able to escape all the winter sickness since there's not really winter here. Well, apparently that's not how it works. Who knew? Noah, Sophie, and I are on antibiotics now (thank you papa!), so hopefully we'll be in the clear soon! In other news, we're so blessed to have family that wants to come out and see us and the babies frequently. Mimi (Lisa) was just here for a 10 day visit. She's a lifesaver! We did lots and lots of fun stuff, including going to Disneyland. I'm pretty positive that I was more excited than Noah. Actually, I'm certain. I think it's so funny how the Lord works. The "happiest place on earth" is literally 15 minutes from our apartment. A dream come true for me! I'll leave you with some wonderful pictures from her visit. :)
