Weeks 5 + 6

The past few weeks have been very busy with Alicia's visit, John and Shannon's baby shower and a playdate with Jessica and Karina in the park. Karina is an adorable baby (as can easily been seen in the pictures above) and at eight months, she is Isobel's guide to her future babyhood. Karina's mom Jessica is Carolyn's inspiration for getting work done on a dissertation while still being a great mom.

Also, we had to post the pictures of Isobel in her new pink hat with the little ladybug button, handmade by Alicia's mom. There's a matching sweater, but given that it's still in the 90's here in St. Louis, we thought we'd stay with just the hat for now. We love our little sherpa!
