Grandma and Grandpa Lee came on Saturday and stayed all week.  It was so nice to have extra hands (for cuddling Julia) and great meals/treats prepared for us!

First bath!  Daddy gave Julia a sponge bath on Wednesday.  She lost her umbilical cord on Friday afternoon... soon it will be time for a real bath!

The weather has been unseasonably warm.  This is our house with no snow on the ground... can you believe it?!

One of Julia's many faces!

Another picture of our beautiful baby girl!  We sure appreciate all the well wishes and love sent our way!  We hope you will have the chance to come and visit her (and us, too)!
