Fun moments with the baby..

So the last 7 weeks have shown Camila and I that having a baby doesn't mean the end of life as we know it. We've actually had several fun outings and moments with our baby. Here are some of them.

Two weeks ago we were Mary, Joseph, and Jesus, in a presentation for the kids in our church.



We pulled together our costumes using blankets, table runners, and scarves borrowed from a neighbor. I wasn't much of a Joseph, but Camila made a great Mary.






The week before that, in Church, we blessed Giovana. That's a religious ordinance in which the baby receives its name and a special blessing. Giovana was dressed in a special white dress, and looked like a little angel.





Later that afternoon, mom and baby got in a nap. Dad was too busy taking pictures..




Here are some fun faces of Giovana..
























This weekend we took Giovana to a ceramic shop and painted a coupla mugs. I managed to get Giovana's foot print in the bottom of my ice cream bowl. We also got her hands painted on the outsides.

What a wonderful little family you have all become! So fun to see you as Mary and Joseph and Jesus. That's a picture to keep for every Christmas. I LOVE her hand and foot prints on the dishes! Brilliant! Have a Merry Christmas, they are so much better with children, even if she is too young to enjoy it yet.

Love the pictures and their meanings. Yes having a baby changes some things, but not everything. Hope to see you sometime.
