Firsts

After some heavier posts, its time for some lighthearted fun. One of the many fun things about becoming a parent is that every day is full of firsts. We've gotten to celebrate Sofia's first ride in her stroller, the first time she really gazed into my eyes, her first walk in the park, her first bath, her first bath without screaming bloody murder, her first smiles (a personal favorite), etc. 

As we gradually get more comfortable in our roles and responsibilities, we've been able to take on more and settle into a life we love. Part of the lifestyle we enjoy and envision for our family is one that extends hospitality. While "getting back into hospitality" so far has really only consisted of allowing people to come by and bring us food and stay for a while (I'm working up to managing to cook and take care of a baby at the same time . . . slowly but surely), its been really nice to have the company and let Sofia get to know our friends. Here are some pics from Sofia's first game night with Mrs. Lexie and Mr. Jamie. We all love Pandemic and Lexie's yummy mini-cheesecakes! Sofia loves hanging out in Lexie's arms, and I think Lexie might enjoy holding Sofia too.
