3 Weeks and a HUGE POST!!!

It is difficult to even begin to describe the last 3 weeks. We have had wonderful time with family and Mama experienced 5 days away from Judah for the first time--luckily, Nana stepped in to help while Daddy went to work. We traveled to Texas for almost a week of great time with the Hufstedler side of the family. Judah had so much fun it is hard to describe in words. Then, we returned home and had a few days with Nana and Papa. Looking back, I am so thankful and grateful for our family and for the many people who love us and love Judah. Judah is growing out of toddler-hood and into childhood. Mama is emotional! We feel blessed and hopeful.


Since I have missed a few weeks (a FIRST!), I want to let many of the photos stand alone...

"I ek-er-cizing!"

"Judah, you sure are pretty!"

Mama thinks: maybe it IS possible to have too much blue eyeshadow!

"I SURE am happy to be here Breen and Pop!"
