I could offer lots of excuses, but let’s just get to the pictures! 

Blake has been all over the city, which his parents have been capturing nicely, but these are a few I managed to get with him at his home (first smile?!?!) and when he (and the rest of the family) came out to support me at my softball game.

In June we traveled to Wisconsin to see my aunt Lindsey get married – what a wonderful affair!!

He was a whopping 7 lbs 8 oz, and 19" long, with blue eyes (which we think will soon become a beautiful brown).  He has been delighting his friends and family already (including aunts, cousins, parents, grandparents and GREAT-grandparents!), and has proven himself to be quite photogenic!! Proud parents are taking Blake home today, and he’s looking forward to seeing his new digs and trying on some of his new wardrobe!  Here are some photos from his first, second, and third days with us:

(Like…TODAY!)  We’ll see if he complies. Pictures and more to follow…

Everyone was overwhelmingly generous, and gave wonderful advice. I felt so fortunate to be able to get this advanced preview into this wonderful life that is motherhood. What an amazing opportunity!

Ciara brought her iPhone along so we could take pictures
during
the race! This was especially hardcore because it required waking up super early the day after the firm’s FYEGOC party (see below). Totally worth it.
