Today Zoe is fourteen weeks old. Fourteen weeks. It does not even seem feasible that much time has passed since her birth. Fourteen of the best weeks of my life. We were sitting in Starbucks today, I was reading and Zoe was snoozing. I looked up from my book and Zoe was gazing at me, […]

Zoe fell asleep last night on the couch on top of our warm quilt. Zak and I were sitting on the hard, cold floor when Zak turns to me and said, “How is it that the 10 week old has the entire couch and we’re stuck with the floor?” I responded, “Better yet, why does […]
