The posts are coming less frequently, but I think they're a lot sweeter now!

So, what's happened since the posting on February 3rd? Before I get to pictures and you're totally distracted, I went for my interview for the Cataloguing position at the Library on Monday the 16th. I think it went well. I'll find out before the end of March (I hope) whether I did well enough to be offered one of the two positions.

Valentine's Day - Helen's gift to us was one of her first smiles!














I tried to get some posed pictures in her Valentine's Day outfit (the feet say "love" and "you"), but she wasn't really agreeable to being posed...
Could it be she's almost as opinionated as her parents???
(*GRIN*)



















We tried again AFTER she was fed... She still didn't like it much, but did a little bit better.



















How long since y'all have seen a picture of sweet, sweet Sophie?














Oh, and then Helen finally came face to face (pretty difficult when his head is bigger than her entire body!) with Solstice.














While I was gone to the all-day interview on the 16th, Michael stayed home with Helen.
This is the outfit he chose for her to wear that day...














Coming up this week (though probably not posted until much later...) will be a trip to visit Michael's office, and a baby book shower for Helen from my office. There's been a lot of talk of pizza from a restaurant called "Pi" for the shower. I wonder if that means that we all get 3.14 pieces? (Sorry. Bad joke... Not funny at all! he he he)
