Hanging with Daddy

Dinner at John & Deb's

On Sunday we went to dinner at John and Deb's house. We met in child birth class at the hospital and we have so much in common- they too have a horse farm with two horses, three dogs, cats and a brand new baby- Jack. Their farm is gorgeous and we love having them to hang out with and the food was wonderful! Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the girls... I'm sure there will be play dates in the future- but aren't the men and their babies too cute?

Introducing Our Newest Addition

Nope, not Sophie. This is our brand new Kubota Zero Turn Mower. After demoing it when our riding mower broke down, we couldn't resist- mostly because it cuts our mowing time in HALF (from 5 hours to about 2 1/2). After all, we'd rather spend our time with the baby. This mower is like a sports car- responsive and super comfy. We realize this might not be as exciting to most of our friends and family as it is to us-- but we are in love!

Irises, Peonies & Mountain Laurel

We spent most of the holiday weekend working on the farm and the gardens. Late spring is my very favorite time of year in Virginia- the weather is perfect (70 and breezy) and my favorite flowers are in full bloom. Check out our mountain laurel, irises and peonies.... They are amazing this year! Also, note Sophie was doing her part in the garden....

Is that a SMILE?

Smiling at Two and a Half Weeks? Did I also mention she is walking and talking already?

Sophie's First Dress

Sophie wore a dress yesterday since her cord scab was bothering her... and because who needs an excuse to wear a pink dress! Note booties knitted by Nannabel. I love them!

KUNTA KINTE!!!

Even Good Babies Have Moments

Sometimes when she works herself up into a frenzy for no apparent reason we just giggle. Life is SO HARD Sophie!
