In my hometown, blackberry bushes grow like a weed. Late summers were always filled with blackberry picking and hands full of thorns. It was only later that I learned own expensive good blackberries are to purchase at the store! Here is some berry inspiration, that is both sweet to eat and to see in floral decor. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, I'm looking forward to spending a weekend at home!
Yes, we are alive and well! Just enjoying the newness of baby Tessa.
I'm feeling good this week and working on projects around the house. Hopefully I'll soon have a chance to write out a few thoughts about the last few weeks. My parents have been here on and off since Tessa was born, which has been awesome. {Thanks Mom and Dad for driving up and down the state of California 3x for us!!!} We have been out and about quite a bit, visited neighbors, had family over, been shopping and out more than I probably should have the first week.
Tessa is eating well, sleeping well and growing like crazy! She started life at 8lb 11oz, got down to 7lb 13oz and now weights 9lb 4oz as of Friday on her 2 week birthday! {I'm not quite sure how she ever fit inside me.} She is so cuddly, and expressive! For all the horror stories of newborn life, we really are blessed, Tessa is such an easy, mellow baby!
Emma is still adjusting to life here... she's had lots of changes in the last two weeks, she started pre-school, is starting speech therapy through our public school system and now has a new sister. Emma is very affectionate to Tessa, but she also craves time with Mommy and Daddy. Thankfully Troy is taking time off to be with us during this transition time. Enjoy a few of the millions of pictures we've taken.. thank goodness for digital cameras!!
