Ella and Francisco

We passed the two week milestone and everyone is doing fine. Ella, Veronica, Katya, and I have settled into our new lifestyle which oscillates between changing diapers and everything else. Ella has been miraculously requiring little sleep as she caters to Veronica’s feeding schedule. I undertook an errand and house-fixing binge that included tending to some of the outstanding nursery-related items I did not finish when Veronica arrived early. Luckily I had a couple weeks off before returning to work.

October 29th was our wedding anniversary, which we were sure would be our last one before the baby arrived. The photos below contain a couple of the fantastic cake Ella orders every year from our wedding cake baker, Simon Lee Bakery. You’ll also see a shot of Katya mal-adjusting to her new position in the family hierarchy. She has taken to hiding in the bathtub; a location she previously avoided because of its association with bath-time. The only way we could get her into the tub was by closing all the doors in the hallway and running her like cattle through a chute into the only open door to the bathroom.

The rest of the photos are of Veronica dealing with her new out-of-the-womb existentialist state. Every now and then she strikes an expression that simply kills us. We love our sweet little lawn gnome.
