i'm gonna miss that big toothless grin!

don't let that smile fool you. this girl was pretty cranky and didn't sleep for a good week while that tooth worked its way through. i don't know who i feel worse for...andy and i or daphne? just kidding daph. one down, how many to go??!

daph's special day

daphne's blessing day was the first sunday in march. it was a wonderful day except for the fact that the star of the party was pretty cranky. she almost made it through the whole blessing without screaming. almost. then she sat with dad outside the chapel for the rest of the church meeting :)
we love this little girl, cranky or not.

okay, time for a happy dance!

so i finally got my computer up and running again. i just got it back from the shop last week. you see, it had 60+ viruses on it, some of which scared the $^#% out of me. no programs would be running and yet this creepy circus music would be coming out of my speakers. or sometimes it was gunshots. or someone breathing heavily. or, on the not so scary side, movie clips or trailers. when i was home alone it definitely about gave me a heart attack. anyway, i'm super happy that it's fixed. wahoo!
now if anyone has recommendations on good antivirus software it would be much appreciated.

before i go, i just want to share a picture video. just for you mom!
daphne just learned this new trick a week or so ago. she is pretty much the cutest!

the birth of daphne was, by far, the most incredible experience of my life. i don't particularly feel like sharing her birth story with the entire world as it was the most personal, spiritual, and emotional experience i've ever had. but, i will share some photos from that very special day. a picture speaks a thousand words anyway, right?
