Moments like this are fleeting.
And so, Learning Laboratory is on maternity leave through the end of this month. I’ll feature favorites from last week’s link-up in September, once I’ve had a chance to visit them properly.
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments, tweets, and facebook comments! We are thrilled to have little Anna in our family!!!








What a sweet, sweet photo! Enjoy your beautiful family! :)

I keep coming back to this picture. :-) It makes me think of Lily’s comment about one of her newborn pictures–it’s very obvious that you and Anna do indeed like each other lots! This is so much sweeter than any professional newborn picture I’ve seen.
