A house full of visitors....

We've had lots of visitors over the past 6 weeks, welcoming Alia to our family. Our home has been full of laughter, shared meals, rowdy boys, and lots of ooohs and aahhs. It's been a great 6 weeks. I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly. Thank you to everyone who has called, sent cards and gifts, brought over meals, and welcomed Alia in various other ways.


This is a picture of me holding the spoon Mom and I have passed back and forth since October 2006. Scott and I were at a friends wedding when Avery was 3 months old. I handed him a spoon to hold at the reception and we ended up taking the spoon home because it got lost under his blankets in his car seat. Since we were staying at Mom's I left it there, under her pillow. Since then, we have hidden it on one another over the years. This time Mom gave it to me with new spoons for Alia.


We enjoyed a few hours at the Mall of America. The boys loved meeting Diego.
