she loves her swing!

can't get enough of that smile!

with Aunt Melissa, who helped her into this world!

Now that her feet reach the bottom, she's starting to enjoy the fun-saucer even more.

Mommy loves taking her for walks. Here they are, returning after a particularly long one Note all the snow -- we had a clear lawn, then one day last week we got 16 inches of snow overnight. (It's all gone now) (No, it wasn't really 60 degrees out, either!)

In the kitchen, trying on the new hat mommy made for her, and getting ready to go for a walk!

Early in the morning, raring to go.

Fun with Lovie Bear, a handmade gift from TG's friend Kelli. (we put him in between us at night for a week so he'd smell like us!)

Visiting with cousin Jessica at the Highland Park skating rink, early March 1999

The whole family together at Minnehaha Falls, on a blustery Sunday, early March 1999. We took our precious bundle across the "STAIRS CLOSED" barricade for this view. Unfortunately, the path to the river was still too icy to travel.

The perfect husband?
