Introducing Andie Marie!

We were so fortunate to have the support of our doula, Connie. She made a long labor smooth and comfortable, and exceptionally enhanced our birth experience.

      It depends on whether or not her nana and papa are still living in Iowa City by then. ... But hopefully we'll introduce her to her Midwestern roots before too long! Or maybe it's time for you and Linda to plan another California road trip? :-)

Deck reconstruction

The deck attached to the Herilino Annex was rotting away, so Uncle Chuck visited again to help give it an overhaul. Uncle Joe and cousin Karen generously helped out, and baby Andie even chipped in! Making a plan Demo nearly completed Adding new boards Finishing up the new railing Breaking for beer and strawberries More demo-ing Kristin and Andie were a little scared for Uncle Joe up there on those narrow old boards!

They don't have much in the way of furniture yet either, but Nani and Papa made sure Andie felt comfortable by stocking their house with new toys, a kid's table, and a potty seat.

Pizza & ready to crawl

Andie added pizza to her list of foods yesterday, doing right by her New York family heritage. Kristin spent her first night away from Andie last night to throw a bachelorette party for Auntie Ellie.
