It's Friday already?

It has been quite the week. Erik has heard back and been accepted to 2 grad schools one in New York and one in New Orleans. We are still waiting to find out from the rest. It's like he's getting his mission call all over again. I've never been so diligent in checking the mail every day (well, I take that back. When Erik was on his mission those weekly letters made me a very diligent mailbox checker). Darla is smiling and interacting more than ever. She was a good sport when I was laying on the couch all of Wednesday with a fever (I'm up and running now...not to worry). She just kicked away in her little chair pretty much all day long. Speaking of a good baby, she is supposed to eat in about 5 min and is basically putting herself to sleep in that same seat. It's hilarious because she moves her head so her blanket rubs against her face and then does this little humming sound as she falls asleep. I love it. As it perfectly states in the musical Wicked -"We couldn't be happier...because happy, is what happens when all your dreams come true..."

i'm so glad you're recording and remembering all the cute little things that she does - memories are a funny thing - if you don't write it down, there's a pretty good chance you'll forget:D i hope i've been good at writing down (and not just by blogging:D) things that i want to remember too. she is so cute! wish i could hold her again!

Holy hair, baby! Are you kidding me? Rachel has some sweet blonde baby hair, but it is nowhere near the hair that Darla has. We can't wait for them to be the best of playmates and cousins. We know they will have a special bond.
