An update...FINALLY!!

We are alive!  Life if busy but good.  Our little girl continues to grow and change so much!  Becca is quite a chatter box and has got a head full of CURLY blonde hair.  The first pictures below show Becca with her long gone, straight hair, which is more on the brown side, and the later pictures show her hair in its curly, blonde glory.  Though it gets Crazy, we love it!

Becca and I enjoyed our Paczkis together on Fat Tuesday in February.  With her sweet tooth, I wasn't surprised that she indulged without needing any convincing (nor did her mother).

We enrolled Becca in swim classes.  Both Chris and I got to go in with her on different occasions.  She loves being in the water.

Here is the start of curls, still brown, but these beautiful things joined us some time in April.

Becca and I enjoyed her first live stage performance, Seseme Street Live.  She was totally captivated.  It was a lot of fun, and I suspect we'll be regulars for the upcoming years.



Becca has also enjoyed playing in the water outside: hose, sprinkler and baby pool.  She's too cute!

Becca, of course, turned the big 2!  We kept the celebration very low key, but it was still a great time.  We had the grandparents in, Aunt Sarah, and even Betsy, Ben, Emma Lou and baby Clara stopped by.  Becca loved the gifts, the balloons, the cake and the attention.  We cannot believe she's already two and at the same time, we can't believe that this little gem has only been in our lives for two years.


Strawberry picking was fun again this year.  We picked two buckets worth, and I made a delicious pie--next year I'll make a few pies and freeze them.

Becca and I ventured up Lake Michigan to join one of my dearest friends and her family (newly expanded) in Manistee.  We stayed in a great beach house and went to the beach each of the three days we were there.  It is so great to catch up with the friends we love and don't get to see often enough.
