I'm still here!

I've heard people say that the 2nd trimester is the honeymoon phase of pregnancy, and, well, I believe it! Through most of mine, it was difficult to even tell I was pregnant! So, there hasn't been much to post lately... but there have been a couple of highlights over the past 2 months that I want to share with everyone.

First, mom and dad Stratton came to visit us in our home for the first time since our wedding! Although, I have a feeling now that they will have a grand-daughter in New England, they will be here more often in the future. We were one of several stops on their cross country tour of the US and Canada. It was a wonderful visit filled with site seeing, shopping, eating, shopping, playing, shopping, etc. In fact, they are already spoiling little Clara! I shouldn't be surprised... they have always spoiled me! I've included a couple of pictures from their visit - this is from the railway in North Conway, NH.

There is much more to share - but it must be saved for another time. Michael is painting baby Clara's room this weekend, and it's my job to get him fed this morning so he has lots of energy for today's honey-do list.
