Gymboree pink long-sleeve cupcake shirt (6-12 mo) and Stella Luna faux jean (they're really cotton stretch material!) pants (12-18 mo). Great lounging clothes! Thanks to Kim, John, Sam, Jill and Jess for the shirt! And thanks to Grandma Cathy for the comfy pants!

Lila spends a lot of time with me at work while I'm videoconferencing - - and now loves to skype with friends and family (she's pretty good at hitting the 'end' button too!). Someone on the other side of the web is definitely cracking this kid up! :0)

What a great weekend! Lila got to spend the whole weekend with her Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Tim, who flew in from Chicago to spend her first Valentine's Day with her! Rabbit Moon blue top with pink and brown polka dot and ruffles and brown knit leggings with polka dots (9 mo).

Catching snowflakes on the front side walk in 28" of snow (and it's still coming!). Carter's light and dark pink snowsuit (6-9 mo). Thanks to Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Tim for the snowsuit! Who'd have thought we'd first have to use it in Baltimore and not Chicago???

Sorta giving the "catch snowflakes" a try...Ready to be 'snowed in' - - Baby Gap Snowman jersey tee and Brannan's favorite pink yoga pants (12-18 mo).Playing on the beautiful heart quilt made by Aunt Rita.
