"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Sofia: The snow is here and it is most definitely sticking!  Today we took you out to the Children's Farm in Orland Park, where we were quickly reminded that they were closed for the winter.  Luckily your Papa and I were able to get a few snaps in before we got yelled at.  How could they possibly kick out a little girl and her sled? ;)

      so glad to hear - I was thinking of you all. knitting is still just a thought in my mind, i've been researching different fabrics and trying to figure out the "gear" i need, but i'm really hoping this is something i can knock out in the next few months. i'm staying hopeful x

    Oh! You guys still have snow. We have mud, although it was snowing a bit earlier. I don't know HOW they could kick her out! :)

    This is so surreal. It's as hot as hot can be over in Malaysia. And the impending Chinese new year always holds the promise of a real scorcher!

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once.
