Welcome Selah!

On October 16th, our friends Mo and Alisa in Virginia welcomed baby girl Selah Elise into the world! Their son Isaac recently turned 3 years old and is excited to have a little sister. Congratulations guys! We are so excited for you!

Welcome to the world Jasper!

Our California friends Vicky and Casey recently welcomed the arrival of their second son, Jasper Joseph Hanrahan, on July 8th. Little Asher is going to be a wonderful big brother. Congrats guys! We can't wait to meet the little guy! (My heart was warmed to see Jasper wrapped in the baby blanket I knit for him. As a knitter, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a little one safely tucked in one of your creations. I hope it brings him much comfort!)

Happy Birthday Luke!

Our cousins Joyce and Tobi welcomed their first baby, Luke Christian Thomas, into the world on June 25th. We can't wait to meet the little guy, and we are thrilled for Owen to have a new cousin. We hope they grow to be close like their parents are!

(And you know they just HAVE to be best pals with celebrity names like Luke & Owen :)

*congrats on your beautiful little boy*

A Baby Boy is Blooming

Owen and I traveled to Houston for our cousin Joyce's (and Tobi's!) baby shower in April. We seem to visit them every few months, but this time called for celebration. Since this is a long overdue post, congrats are in order for them as Joyce gave birth to Luke Christian Thomas on June 25th! (I will post newborn pics soon.) As always, we enjoyed our time chilling in H-town with Tobe and Joy-cee and their good friends Kate and Erik. We finally met Jenny, Joyce's sister, who also visited for a week and had a great time getting to know her! Thanks to Joyce's friends and sis, the shower turned out to be a smashing success. The theme "A Baby Boy is Blooming" played out in everything from the cake and cupcakes, to the potted flower favors. It seemed like Tobi and Joyce had a wonderful time opening all of their baby gifts and chatting with the guests. I'm so thankful we were there to celebrate with them.
