Snug as a Bug

Both Jude and Goldie love being cuddly with their blankets. Happy babies. Happy parents.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

We've been home from the hospital for a few days, and while we'd all love to sit around and hold the new baby, Jude was itching to get outside. The yard needed it, anyway. Jude and Daddy went out and raked up some leaves, but then we got distracted and played in the forest instead.

Goldie is a sympathetic child. Mommy and Daddy are exhausted.

How Mommy & Daddy Feel

This is not the best photo I have ever taken, but if you turn your device (or head) sideways, it's actually pretty cute.

Daddy took this himself. He's doing it wrong.

Jude Crosses the Cheddar Curtain

Today, Jude got to visit Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin.

Jude hangs with some cool cats.

We stopped at the park on the way home.

Jude's Getting Ready

Jude is getting ready! He has his snow pants and his hat on, ready to face another cold January morning (at least long enough to get in the car). But, he's also ready to move! Mom and Dad might not get a chance to sit down anytime soon--he's off to the races!
