Greetings from (STILL) chilly Dayton! We hope that all of you are well and getting through this last month of Winter. If you're anything like us right now, you're all chomping at the bit for warmer weather, flowers & outdoor activities.
There are upsides to being 'housebound' with Little Norah, though. First and foremost, we are getting plenty of time to get to know each other. Norah is 31 days old today, and no two days have really been the same. Norah has a few predictable habits, yes, but she is growing and changing so fast that each day is a new adventure for both Norah and her parents.
Also, the cold weather has allowed others to enter our home ( and Norah has made a few trips out, too ) and meet our princess. Norah has had two VERY special visitors during her time 'on the outside'.
Great-Grandma Weber (Dan's maternal grandmother) traveled up from her sunny, warm home in Florida and braved an entire Midwest Winter to witness the birth of her great-grandchild. She was able to spend some great quality time with Norah before heading back down south last week. Norah loves her great-grandmother very much!
Speaking of grandparents, Norah has gotten to spend some WONDERFUL time with
Eric and Susie. Both of them have been TREMENDOUSLY helpful during these past few weeks. In addition to lending many a helping hand with diaper changing and swaddling, Eric & Susie have already introduced Norah to a wonderful family tradition: Sunday Night Dinners. Dan and J have braved the cold with their little one to travel to Grandma and Grandpa's house each Sunday fir dinner. It has been wonderful!
Last, but certainly not least, Norah's Godmother, Cindy, came in last week from Pennsylvania to meet her Goddaughter (and give J some help as well as keep her company......THANKS CIN!!!!!!!!!!!!). What a great time Norah had! She got to be held and pampered by Cindy for two straight days. Dan and J are seriously considering making Cindy their Au Pair! :-) She was that great! Norah also got introduced to another tradition: Watching 'House' w/ the adults. (Every time we all get together...we have to O.D. on episodes of 'House'...check out Norah watching as "13" diagnoses someone's "Itis" in the picture...PRECIOUS).
Yes, things are moving quickly around here. Spring is right around the corner, and we're looking forward to Ms. Norah growing big and beautiful just like the flowers that will be blooming soon.
Much love,
D & J
