Hope for their future

What joy & what a celebration this week! I'm a bit sad to be missing all of the celebrations in the US though - we went to bed on election night late (about 2:30am) thinking it may be another long decision, and after I fed Alexandra at 5:30 I turned on the computer in time to see all of the major networks declaring Obama as the president. What a time in US history! I feel like the torch has been passed once more to a new generation...

I'm so glad hope is more powerful than fear.

What a wonderful gift to give to our girls...

Alexandra at 6 months...

So I'm a few days late, but what a month this has been! Alexandra is now a non-stop babbler, when her big sister lets her get a word in edgewise... Sophia is still the one guarantee to bring a smile to Alexandra's face, and it is amazing to watch the two of them when Sophia gets out of school. Alexandra's whole body starts moving, like she has so much to tell her about what we did that day & how much Sophia was missed. It is so great to see!
Alexandra has almost perfected the art of the perfect sitting position, and when she falls backwards & lands on a pillow she just starts laughing! She is such a happy baby...
