Update

I finally managed to get Felicity's birth story written. It turned out to be a lot longer than I thought it would be! At least I got it done before the memories fade.

A Day in the Life

Recently, a friend did a 'Day in the Life' entry and I thought it was quite fascinating to get a glimpse into someone else's life via photos taken throughout the course of an entire day.

Here is my attempt:


Felicity, asleep in the sling after a filling breastmilk breakfast


Angelica, feeding the fish their breakfast


Lorelai, and her marvelous bedhead


Dressed and ready to face the day...


Daddy still sleeping, not quite ready to face the day


Lorelai throwing a mini-tantrum because I wasn't making her breakfast fast enough... Sheesh!


Washing her hands in the sink


I guess it's time to tackle some laundry?


Lorelai checking out Daddy's tile cutting mess on the back deck (we're 'upgrading' the master bath with tile flooring)...


Gas = discomfort = inconsolable baby = a lot of crying = passed out from fatigue


Daddy cutting tile


More tile


Off to a BBQ


Enjoying the ride


It's been a rather stressful afternoon, and I think it's written all over our faces...








Trying to lighten the mood with smiles




Lucky for us, she seems to be out of gas.. no more crying (yet!)


Doesn't make us any less tired, though...


This is supposed to be cool?


Lorelai warming up to a little girl from the BBQ


Running around the yard with Daddy


On the way home, the crying starts again. At least she was good while we were out!


Settling down to watch Happy Feet...
(can we get some happy feet to come in here and clean this living room?)


Daddy and Lorelai snuggling on the couch watching the movie


Felicity, content in the swing (RARE!)


Tummy time

And then it was bedtime for everyone else... I stayed up to do this entry.

Looks like someone is going to have big, brown eyes just like her Mommy... A little mini-me? :)

Felicity, 12 days old:




Are these two even related? This is Lorelai at about 3 weeks of age (surprisingly, it's the first picture we took with her eyes open, so no equal-age comparison is available):

Someone didn't have a nap today... and couldn't quite make it through dinner!

Our First Day Home

Felicity, I think there's someone on the phone for you...


Lorelai definitely loves her new little sister - she's a very big helper!
