Studying for the bar sucks...


But at least my baby is cute!

Eleanor's Blessing Day

She wore a gown made with love by her Nana Niece -- while all I could contribute were her matching slippers. Michael gave her a beautiful blessing in our home ward up in Coeur d'Alene and we felt very privileged to have so many of our close family members and friends in the circle to welcome her with love.

Happy Christmas!!






















Sorry for the quality on these pics-- they're off my phone. I need to
upload some of the bajillion photos taken on our spiffy camera--but thethought of booting up my computer has filled me with such law school PTSD that I haven't been able to stomach it.

Eleanor has been a goodsport while she has been trussed and staged for multiple photo
shoots-- in multiple outfits. She got a ridiculous amount of stuff for christmas...enough that's it's a good thing she usually goes through more than one outfit a day.

Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas. We were just excited to have our little bundle with us...and she did in fact loving laying down under the tree.

Much love -- Mike, Britt and Eleanor
