And in the news . . .

Isanne Leung Cohen joined the family at 12:02AM on Thursday, August 12, 2010. Weighing in at 7lb 8oz and measuring a whopping 18 3/4" - she's in great health and we're all doing well. We came home same day (last night) and Varick was pleased as punch to be able to give his baby hugs and bisous (as are we all- lucky girl!) Here are some of our favourite photos! Thanks to all of you for your support- come meet her!

Are you ever really ready?!

Time to re-activate the blog! We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new family member (currently known as the "petite fille") any day now. Papa and Varick (now 2 1/2) set up the co-sleeper last weekend, and we're as ready as we'll ever be! Here are a few current photos of us at this 9 month/ 39 weeks mark. As always, current photos and videos available at flickr and youtube by following links on the left. Looking forward to sharing news with you all soon!

A quick review of the photo and video log of V's activities last month shows this: outings into the VERY cold weather, peekaboo, alot of climbing & much knocking over of things, 12 days of the popular stomach virus diet (not pictured- trust us, you don't want to see, though a new swatch might be in order ...), more free-standing and a few steps, and first words!
