Off to Idaho

Aoife and I traveled to Idaho to meet more family, flying out on August 26. She got to meet her Grandpa Peter and see Grandma Linda again. She also met much of her extended family on my side.

Visitors from New Jersey

During Aoife's second week at home, we had a visit from family from New Jersey - her Grandma Barbara, Aunt Nikki and cousins John and Jimmy.

The first week home

The first week was a bit of a shock, but we soon settled in and started learning what each coo and cry meant, and how to function without much sleep.

From Bella Baby photography

Bella Baby photography stopped by on August 8, and here are some of their photos of our sweet little Aoife. Thankfully, you can't see the stench lines emanating from me and  Jim after several days without a bath or shower.

At the hospital

These next few photos were taken at Swedish Medical Center, where Aoife was born.

Just born!
