Farewell to Mimi

We've survived our first few days without Mimi. It's been bumpy at times, but overall we're adjusting pretty well. We miss her a lot- she was such a blessing during these challenging early weeks.

Lucy had a wonderful time with Mimi. After she left Lucy said, "I'm sad- I want Mimi to come back!"

All the girls together.

Lucy and Mimi did lots of grocery shopping. Lucy unloaded all of the bags this time (and stacked them up beind her)- quite a helper!

Lucy being towed on a sled by Great-Grandma. The only way to get to the backyard hill is with skis- otherwise you sink through the 3+ feet of snow.

Here's our little sweetheart. Clara has started smiling and melts our hearts each time. She's also "talking" a lot and we had quite a nice conversation this morning.

The amazing Papa- he has been a wonderfully supportive co-pilot on this adventure.

Lucy really likes holding Clara.

I love this close-up of their hands- and of Clara's double chin. She sure is filling out. :)
