Claire and Juliet want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. To celebrate, we’ve got some pictures of the past few days including Juliet’s arrival home, Claire opening the kid-sized guitar Juliet gave her as a thank you for being such a great big sister, Grandma Judy entertaining Claire, Juliet the lap baby with Grandma and me, and the girls’ first photoshoot together. Also this week Juliet had her first pediatrician appointment. She’s 20 3/4 inches (83rd percentile), 8 lbs, 1 oz (58th percentile), with a 36.5cm head (78th percentile). Click on the picture of the two of them in their heart-covered pajamas for a slideshow.

Thank the universe for these newfangled gadgets where we can send pictures out into space and have them arrive instantaneously on our desk! How precious are those photos with the children in their Valentine do’s. Happy belated V Day to all of you. We had houseguests for 5 days and they just left this morning so we’re getting back to normal now. Much love, Lou Ann and Mike
