"Most of us become parents long before we have stopped being children"

Both children (how weird is it to write that!) are napping, and I will be in about 5 minutes, but I wanted to include a quick update. We are working the bumps out of a WHOLE NEW HUMAN in our lives, and loving every minute of it. I picked the quote today because I am feeling so darn young--how can I have 2 children? Where are all the grown ups? I look at this picture of me and Ollie (by the way--isn't Matty a phenomenoal photographer as well!? ) and realize that we are the grown ups and I am pretty excited to get to hang out as Mommy, Daddy, Zoey , and Ollie. We have so much to be thankful for! Happy, healthy, still in pajamas (I declared it a "pajama party" day to Zoey and she was psyched), needing a shower, a nap, and my feet to return to "normal." (As it turns out, the swelling has actually gotten WORSE). However, I am blissful and clearly so blessed. Good night--or nap--

Just a beautiful picture! Rest up, as we'll be invading next Thursday :-) Can't wait to meet the newest Chandler (though something tells me he'll be sleeping most of the time).

What a beautiful picture of Mommy and her angel! So happy for you, Matt, Zoey and Oliver- your family of four! PS- I didn't even attempt the book, but I will call you soon to come over another time to bring you treats! ~Tara
