A pleasant morning

While Lois was here with us this past week, I invited some friends over to meet her and Elin. Here is our tiny guest of honor, fast asleep.


Everything is ready! The plates, the candleholder, the table runner . . . did somebody say Finials? Please note the iced coffee Lois made - I'm addicted!

There was coconut pound cake. (Mango sauce not pictured, but delish!)

And strawberries.

Our friend Joan brought some gorgeous hydrangeas.

Here we are! Okay, so only two people came . . . but we loved every minute with Jen and Joan!



Jen holds the baby.

And Joan too!

Viggo sneaks a kiss! What a sweetie that big brother is.

I tried to give Lois as many baby-holding opportunities as possible.

And I even got a turn holding my own kid. She was perfect the whole time!

  2. This is the kind of party I dream of... Sweet time with friends! I hope to see "Lane holding Elin" on your blog someday soon. And yes, with Elin in such high demand, I bet you are grateful for every moment you get to hold her (:
