Mother and Child

Here's a photo of the two prettiest girls I know!

Things Katie Resembles

We've spent a lot of time over the past few months talking about whether Katie more closely resembles Maureen or me, but we've also noticed that she sometimes looks like other people or things.  We thought you might enjoy seeing some of them.  So here are four things Katie resembles other than her parents.

Martial artist and 1970s film icon Bruce Lee

Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day to Maureen!

Katie and I would like to use this post to tell Maureen how much we love her! She's beautiful, godly, sweet, kind, smart, thoughtful, compassionate, fun, and patient (with both of us, but for different reasons). She's a wonderful mother and wife. I love watching Katie light up when Maureen walks into the room. That's how I feel, too. You're truly beautiful, Maureen, and we love you!

One Happy Baby

Katie's New Toy

Maureen's parents recently gave Katie a nifty little playmat that features dangling mirrors, stuffed animals, and other toys.  She likes it already, and we're looking forward to seeing how it helps improve her coordination.  I joined Katie on the mat recently, and we both had a great time (though as you can see from the photos, it was mostly me playing and Katie sticking her hand in her mouth).
