Lovely

This gal...love her.

The transition from 5 to 6 has been as difficult as I anticipated it would be. Not because of numbers, unless the number 2 1/2 means anything. :-) As in, the 2 1/2 year old is coping, well, not at all. Mercy me!!! 

New Life

Marciana Mary Elizabeth

Born: Sept.14

7 lbs. 3 oz.

I will never again take for granted having a healthy baby, and I am happy to announce that Marciana is very healthy!  I'm usually a "birth story" type of person, but I think this time around I'll simply say "healthy baby, healthy momma".  It wasn't my dream birth situation, but the end result was absolutely perfect.  We are all doing well, very tired, and adjusting at our own pace (2-year-olds...gotta love 'em)
