Date Night

 Don't let that sweet smile fool you, this one has been crazy ornery lately.  J and I came to the conclusion that maybe it's because

she's needing some extra special attention.  So tonight, her and I went on a date.  We started off with some frozen yogurt and

ended with a little retail therapy.

Seahawks!

 Tonight we watched this game.  Live.

 I think the 12th Man was a little too much for the Girl.

 We were three rows from the tippy-top but who can complain when the tickets were free?!

 Wee one enjoyed the copious amounts of snacks (the only way we could keep her in the seat).

This is as good as it gets these days when it comes to a posed picture with all three of them.

Seven

 Hard to believe that on this day and at this time seven years ago I was in a hospital bed just an hour away from meeting the little baby that was turning

somersaults in my belly and filling my heart with joy.  She entered the world at 12:36 Mountain Standard Time, weighing 6 pounds 13.9 ounces and stretching to 19 1/4 inches in length.  I'll never forget how, moments after birth, as she lay on my chest, she reached up and wrapped her tiny fingers around my thumb.  J and I were instantly smitten.  Little did we know how much she would (and continues to) teach us or how time would begin to pass exponentially more quickly than what we had previously known.
