Cousins

Serena and Ava hit it off - well, as far as we could tell. The 5 month age difference will be like nothing later, but it sure is a big difference now, between 2 months and 7 months. Serena is so much more mobile and responsive to her environment - things for Elisa to look forward to! We had a great time with Elisa and Ava here for the week and sent them back home in time for Elisa to go back to work. Hope they aren't too worn out.
A snowy trip home from the Louisville airport brought Grandma Poling for a quick 2-day visit before she had to go back to Arizona. Just when Serena was getting used to her... we'll look forward to another visit. Still lots of snow on the ground. Bishop is just waiting for Joshua to get back from North Carolina so they can play in it together. Serena and I are ready for him to come home too. Daddy's the best at putting Serena to sleep... and feeding and bathing and changing diapers and cleaning up (I'm hoping the positive reinforcement will bring big results!)
