I had tears of joy last night as I watched her just chewing away on her fist and bouncing away in her bouncy chair.  It is true love.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5997686311348362830-7621403750591509076?l=clotheslinechronicles-kate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16604478213239722769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997686311348362830.post-14813058109684205502009-03-31T18:16:00.001-07:002009-03-31T18:19:36.592-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EVrf0b5mA6w/SdLA0ChZM9I/AAAAAAAAABY/MFjDKfcti_U/s1600-h/sweetie+puss.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EVrf0b5mA6w/SdLA0ChZM9I/AAAAAAAAABY/MFjDKfcti_U/s320/sweetie+puss.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319526110140642258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EVrf0b5mA6w/SdLAz8RFqkI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YC1VHwui-EY/s1600-h/smiley+face.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EVrf0b5mA6w/SdLAz8RFqkI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YC1VHwui-EY/s320/smiley+face.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319526108461640258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EVrf0b5mA6w/SdLAzl9JJZI/AAAAAAAAABI/vuFY3Enc9sw/s1600-h/quack+quack.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EVrf0b5mA6w/SdLAzl9JJZI/AAAAAAAAABI/vuFY3Enc9sw/s320/quack+quack.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319526102472402322" /></a><br />our lovely little girl was born three weeks ago today.  March 10, 2009 we welcomed Julia Ellen to our family!  <div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5997686311348362830-1481305810968420550?l=clotheslinechronicles-kate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16604478213239722769noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997686311348362830.post-675167200871303752008-06-21T11:10:00.000-07:002008-06-21T11:14:55.187-07:00So happy to have today.
