Welcome to the world, Jocelyn and Julia!

We just couldn't be happier to welcome Anna's two newest little playmates to the world--Jocelyn and Julia! They are just the most beautiful little bundles of joy...we're so excited that they're here! A huge congrats to Tim and Melanie! Check out their blog at http://juliaandjocelyn.blogspot.com.

As some of you loyal blog-visitors may remember from when Anna was almost this tiny, Melanie was often referred to as "Nanny Mel", and accompanied us on many trips to the mall, to get gelato, etc. She was always such a calming spirit to Anna, and a sanity saver for me! Now I just hope I can be half as helpful to them...

Daddy's sweetheart

Just when you thought Daddy couldn't get any more wrapped around Anna's finger...she bakes for him! Anna decided to make Daddy a Valentine's gift of his favorite treat--cranberry white chocolate oatmeal bars (with a bit of help from Mommy).

As any good chef does, she of course had to sample the freshness of her ingredients before allowing them to be used in her dish...

Sharing the love with her friends...

Even though Valentine's Day was one of my days to get to be at home with Anna, we still decided to go up to school for her Valentine's party. She was SO excited to see her friends, and get to hang out with her friends and mommy at the same time! She has really fallen in love with school recently, and it was so fun to get to see her in that environment.

Above, one of her favorite pals, Miki, gives Anna a little love pat on the head..

Umm...a boy giving my baby a valentine?? I don't think so! Little Max is her favorite little guy buddy at school, and he was so excited to see her that he brought her his teddy bear. Good thing Daddy wasn't there to witness this toddler courting...
