Hey all. We're doing well having just enjoyed a nice long weekend (Ryan was able to work from home on Friday so I could catch up on rest) and gearing up for the long week ahead. Except for a couple good eggs, most of our Memphis friends have fled the heat (yesterday we reached 109!!) for fairer climes and so we're stuck inside not knowing too many folks, doing a little bit of thumb twiddling and diaper changing until the weather breaks and we can bring the wee baby out more. It reminds me of the insanely windy, stroller and bike blowing over days in Maastricht that kept us homebound--just another weather extreme and this time the babe is on the outside and a bit less able to regulate his temperature. Sweet Auntie Cass sent these pictures of Ellie's Big Sister Party!! that was held a couple weeks ago now. Last year Ellie picked blueberry cake for her party--as you can see she's moved on to chocolate. She also recently asked me why Memphis doesn't have the chocolate, cheese and croissants she used to have in Maastricht . . . seems we have a little foodie on our hands. But at least she has good taste. And she is indeed a great big sister.
Cheers!

What a cute t-shirt and a cute big sister in it! :) Your baby is SO handsome. I hope you are able to just enjoy - amidst the diapers and sleep deprivation. Thinking of you guys!
Love, Amy
Wonderful t-shirt! It's difficult not to want a brother when they come with one of those for you.
Cheers from Maastricht!

I must say that Ellie has a distinctly Bruce-like expression on her face in the photo on the right. You know what I mean!
