Tess Week 3!

Luna went to a super-fly Fasching (Carnival or Mardi Gras) party as Mega-Mindy!

First bath for Tess!

Big sister is such a good helper!

 Forgot how slippery they are!

Getting all pretty for some family pictures!

After discovering that the newborn clothes aren't fitting anymore... Gramma picked out a new outfit for Tess!

Looks like she hasn't lost her touch!

Valentine's Day surprise for Luna after school.

And she got to have her face painted for Fasching 2 days in a row!  The first day she was a princess, and the next day she was an Einhorn or unicorn (sorry, no picture! :( )

Phew! - that pretty much catches us up just in time for Tess's One Month old Birthday on Saturday!!

Tess Week 2

Gramma arrived the 4th day after Luna was born.  What a blessing it was to have her here!  She took such good care of us.

Luna got lots of special big sister presents, including this Polly Pocket house from Papa.

G.G. (Great Grandmother Lois) made this beautiful quilt for Tess...

Trying to get some portraits of Tess with some of my knit goodies for her!

We had a hairdresser come and give Luna her first professional cut!

Beautiful girl!

We finally got snow to complete the sub-zero temps!  Luna made this bird feeder at a birthday party she went to.

More visitors popping 'round to see Tess! Our good friend Zoe...

They brought us some lovely Krapfen (pastries) but I didn't think they had enough chocolate! :)

Who left this child on the counter?

First snowman of the year!

Lots of special activities to keep Luna busy!

Mama's first solo outing with Tess - to see the doctor!

We were lucky enough to have my Aunt and Uncle who live here in Germany come visit!

They brought me Hostess cupcakes!!!

We got Sheila started with some knitting projects!

This new little sister thing wears EVERYBODY out!

We hosted knitting group at my house in week 2, here's one of our ladies (who didn't get much knitting done!)
