I've been having some complications after Piper's birth. Without going into all the gory details, I had to have minor surgery and go back to the hospital for a while. Piper's doing great, and was able to stay at the hospital with me to continue breastfeeding.
Hopefully we're back home for good now. I'm itching to get back on my feet and take oodles of photos of this baby.
(Thanks to Stacy for the above photo and a very welcome hospital visit. She's the kind of friend who brings books!)


I've shown her pictures to everyone that will stand still. She's a ridiculously beautiful baby and I'm proud to call her my "baby fix." I'll be swinging by often...can't get enough of her.

Hi Laura......Piper is precious!!!!! Hopefully, your "minor" surgery went well (all surgery is "major"!) and you'll be back in full swing soon. And how did Miss Violet take to meeting Piper? I can't wait to see more pictures of her......
~ ~ ~ ~What a fun friend Stacy must be (she is freaking hilarious on her blog!) Love her posed dead cicadas.....and actually admitting she rinsed macaroni in the fish tank gravel cleaning colander. AND a ghost! What a bonus......
