Finally caught-up!

I just realized that we haven't taken many pictures of Miriam since the week after she was born. (Sometimes we think she doesn't even look the same as she did the first two weeks or so. We understand this is normal.) I think the only reason I didn't take new ones is simply because I have been overwhelmed with getting caught-up in blog-posting the ones we'd already had. I'm going to need to find some balance in doing this in the days to come.

Peter & Sarah's visit - Miriam meets her cousins for the first time (1/18/2008)

Uncle Peter and Aunt Sarah came down to meet Miriam for the first time a week after Miriam's arrival. Their boys (Miriam's only cousins to date) were curious about their new cousin.

From left: Jonah, Aidan, and Uncle Peter with Miriam. I like this picture (too bad Auntie Sarah isn't in it to complete the family a bit more). For whatever reason, I can't help but think this photo has some sort of Norman Rockwell qualities to it. Call me crazy. :-)

From left: Jonah and Aidan with Miriam. Aidan was more than eager to hold...sometimes he was almost too insistent to hold her.

'The boys' don't know what to think of their crying cousin.
