Scenes from Our New Reality and Attempts at Adult Conversation and Activity for Sanity's Sake

Out with friends (and kids) when Deirdre and Doug came to town from London. Nathaniel (8 mos.) is sleeping behind Deirdre. Tom is feeding Kate. Jodi has Dylan (1.5 years). And, Kristen has two on the way. 

We all "went out" to eat Mexican food -- it is amazing how things change.  

Tom after feeding Kate for the first time at dinner.  

Deirdre and Doug back in DC from London for a week. 

Tom, Seiva, and Nathaniel.

The Weight

Back from the doctor. Kate's almost up to 10 pounds. (Just think where she would be without the spitup!) It comes as a great relief when we think about Kate lying at Georgetown a month ago after having dropped a pound in her first week of life. Of course, that seems like a year ago.
