Elliot's impromptu photo shoot!

Yesterday, several of our friends came to our home to meet baby Elliot. One of them, Donna Benkin Danoff, is a professional photographer who surprised us with an impromptu photo shoot. What a beautiful and thoughtful gift! She even managed to capture sweet, sleepy Elliot with his eyes open :)

Welcome Elliot John Magee!

Our son, Elliot John Magee, arrived Wednesday, January 13! He is a healthy, sweet, sleepy, beautiful boy - born 8 lbs, 6.2 oz; 21.5 inches. We are thrilled to get to know Elliot, and to become a family of four!

 

January highlights so far

Enjoying the *very* well-attended ;) Miami women's basketball game. 

A fun dinner at the House of Bangkok in Fairfield.

A few of Cora's most recent creations. I especially love the lettering on her "hippo" photo.

Fun with Magna-tiles... Cora continues to love creating with these cool magnets from Nana and Baba.

season's first snowfall + Due Date

Yesterday (January 10) was my due date. Although our baby boy didn't arrive, Cora was THRILLED to witness the season's first snowfall. She excitedly woke Josh and I up, completely mesmerized that it had snowed overnight. "It's winter!!"

One of my favorite things about having a child is being able to see and experience life through her eyes -- e.g., magical, winter wonderland vs. cold, dreary day.

... and a 40 week selfie. :)
