Artist

We have an artist in the family! Jane Ritchie's cousin Sally Frances did this adorable painting of a monkey princess for the nursery. We love it!

My kind of town

Paul's friend Hector who was in our wedding, is a police officer for the city of Chicago. Check out this fantastic outfit he sent for Jane Ritchie. Thanks Hector!!!

More Grandparents Arrive!

Bonnet

Jane Ritchie has tons of bonnets and hats. Too bad none of them fit her yet! Fortunately, Aunt Ruthie just sent us this beautiful bonnet from Belgium the other day. It's a little big, but it fits better than the rest so we put it on Jane Ritchie to take her outside . The nurse at the hospital said the wind in Hawaii is bad for babies ears so we had to keep them covered up. Isn't she cute??

Sailing

Our nice neighbor, Ryan (13) competes in sailing competitions here in Hawaii. He offered to take us out in Pearl Harbor today. I tried to get May May and Dad to go and let me stay with the baby, but May May insisted on staying at home with Jane Ritchie! Shocker. Anyway, it was great fun. Let's hope Ryan remembers us when he's a big shot Olympian.

Grandaddy arrives!

And we have a new favorite dress!
