First week pictures

Baby Isla is adjusting well into our family...we love having our sweet, little girl around...and Oak is such a great big brother! We have been enjoying slow mornings, walks around the neighborhood, community gatherings and taking hikes (walks in the woods) so far during Izzy's first week (she has slept through most of it, though:)

At Saul Lake Bog-Daddy showed us all he learned in his class about Michigan vegetation
Oak after a nap, when I walked in with Isla, said "Iya in Oak's bed"-maybe they would sleep well together, who knows

How sweet. Oak looks like he's adjusting well to the role of big brother. Good for him!

Gorgeous pictures . . . we're eating up Oak and Isla (and the rest of you look good too!) Wish we could be there in person to snuggle and squeeze them!

Love the pics, Alan & Liz! Thanks for putting them up. It makes it a little easier with the distance so great. I love that goofy grin that Oak makes for almost every picture. You trained him well, Alan. Love to all ... Granna Linda comes to San Diego next weekend and then 4 days later ... off for a week in Grand Rapids. Love you lots!

Congratulations! Izzy is beautiful! Looking at all of Oak's pictures make me giggle he is so cute and smiley! I love it! I hope that the Carters and Anders are doing great and enjoying this funny new baby time!
Love and hugs!
