S.L., around 6 weeks old

Sometimes she would even sleep 8 1/2 hrs stretches at night! (She forgot how to do this around 2 months of age, but it was nice while it lasted)

S.L. likes being held. She has no interest in cuddling or being held up against anyone's shoulder.  She just wants to face outward and to see what's going on in the world. This baby is not interested in being bored, OR lonely.

Luckily for her, there's no chance of her being neglected or not getting enough attention around these here parts.

she woke up happy and chipper on April 16th, 2018

 

Not that she had any idea what was about to happen...

Welcome to the family, Baby Lou!  It was all finalized in the blink of an eye.

The hearing before the judge took no time at all---less than five minutes.  The kids postponed starting their school day so they could attend and Daddy had come directly from a night shift (hence the scrubs top), and we all went directly to milkshakes after being at court. 

Well, with a brief stop by the beach for a photo or two...

Winter trip to Korea

A fellow skier asked where we were traveling in from. "Saipan." Unlike folks in the U.S, that's usually enough information. Pretty much everyone we've spoken to in Korean know of it.
"So you are vacationing from Saipan here," he said more as a statement than a question. And then he shrugged. Sure, why not.

At a truck stop in Korea. So you know which toilet stalls are unoccupied. (!!??!!)

AM has another birthday. We go hiking for the occasion. There is a cave. Then a bonfire birthday party at the beach.
