Outdoor Shakespeare

Last week we joined some friends and brought a picnic to Falls Park to watch a Moliere play outdoors called "The Miser." The weather was splendid and although the girls appreciated the performance more than the boys, all savored some fried chicken and cous-cous. (Yes, Mom and Dad, Cous-cous again! Ha! ha! )

Look what I can do!

At 17 weeks, Sullivan seems to change daily! It is really amazing us. She is almost sitting up by herself, grabs toys and brings them to her and pushes them away, fingers toys and pulls on blankets and clothing and coos and babbles at all decibels. She loves to play "peek-a-boo" and "London Bridge" (I pretend to fall on top of her), listening to books and to hear you snapping and clapping to music. She is even starting to cackle and laugh! She is a real joy!

Early months with Sullivan

Mom and Colleen were both able to come visit during the first few weeks of being at home with Sullivan (thank goodness!). Lauren, Dad and Baby Josephine (above left) also came to visit! We all had a great time figuring out how to be parents and take care of her.

Sullivan is born!

Sullivan Marie came into the world Friday morning at 12:17am on March 28,2008. She was 6lbs 11oz and 19 inches long. She had (and still does!) have lots of brown hair and big blue eyes. We had a fabulous time in the hospital with her (does that sound crazy!?) as all 3 of us bunked in together. As my mom always told me, being in the hospital with your new baby is truly wonderful.

Our home in Greenville, South Carolina

We found a wonderful home right near the Greenville Memorial Hospital! We are really happy here and love our hardwood floors, deck, sun room, large windowed-kitchen and our big yard.
