Annabelle's a Month!

So much life has happened in two weeks, I can hardly keep up! I have pictures to show it but in a nutshell: Jeff and Gillian's baby Solomon Thomas arrived on Monday May 3rd. My dear friend Deb visited with her little Rowan for a few days and we had a great time learning the tricks of the trade of parenting from her. My parents finally arrived in Portland on Thursday before Mother's Day and we have been enjoying their company and help so much! My dear friend Emily from SF visited us as well and Annabelle got to meet her whole family. We hosted a yummy Mother's Day at our house and Jack's family brought all the grub. Meanwhile, we cannot believe how much Annabelle has grown! She is now a month old and has changed so much! At her month checkup she weighed 8lbs 5oz, exceeding all of our bets! My parents have spent this past week, getting our house in order (as Rosie does) and relaxing in our backyard with beautiful spring weather. Morty has been doing great helping out Jack, reading, and watching documentaries on WWII. Last night, Jack and I made it out for a sushi date with our little tot. Not only did we celebrate Annabelle turning a month old but also us being parents for a whole month!
