Dave commented this morning that the past two weeks have been the longest and the shortest we have experienced in a long time. Funny how that works!
Hope is now 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 20.5 inches long. She is “waking up” from the newborn stage and starting to show her personality. She much prefers being held or snuggling next to Carmen.
Dave and I are t-i-r-e-d but I guess it would be weird if we weren’t, right?!
Having a newborn in our house again has made it even clearer to me how much Tay Sachs has taken from Carmen. Carmen no longer has the abilities of a newborn. Hope can cry, lift up her head, smile (maybe it’s gas but she is still smiling!), react, etc. Tay Sachs has taken almost everything from Carmen.
Lauren, always the nurturer, is loving her role as big sister again. A few days ago, I was cleaning up the bathroom and Lauren was in the bedroom with Hope. Hope was crying and Lauren kept calling for me to come get Hope. I told her I was hurrying and would be just a moment. I heard her say, “Hope, I tried. Your mother is just not paying attention to me!”
Beth from Sugar Rush Photography braved the snow this week and drove to our house to take pictures of Hope and our family. Click here for a sneak peek.
Speaking of snow, we are supposed to get MORE snow on Monday and Tuesday. When they predicted a record snow amount for us this winter, they weren’t kidding! We have already broken a 100 year snow record.

The MOPS moms are blessing us with meals again. Thank you Angie, Karen, Jacy and Annie for your wonderful meals!
The “sneak peak” portraits are beautiful beyond words!
While we got 10 inches of snow here in Arlington and D-FW, according to meteorologists it was equivalent to only one inch of rain. Dry snow it was.
Those pictures are truly amazing… beyond words!
Such beautiful photos! I agree with Sandi, truly amazing.. And the photo of all 3 of yours girls is so good!
You have been blessed with three beautiful little girls, such an amazing family!
