"Congratulations"

It's weird - When Mary's pushing Rosalie at the store or at Church, she rarely gets a "congratulations." But when I have Rosalie, people seemingly fall over themselves to say it to me.

Maybe it's because she's back to her pre-pregnancy weight? No one thinks she's the mommy?

So it goes without saying that it doesn't seem right that I was just named one of Champaign-Urbana's Dads To Know. It's just because I'm a celebrity. We know Mary does all the work :)

A Busy Month (in photos)

Update: changed the photos to a slideshow. Click any photo to open the album. This has been a very busy month in terms of visitors. It's been great to see so many family and friends. Rosalie is now 7 weeks old! This is the last week before Mary returns to work (part-time) so we're going to try and spend as much of it together as a family. Mary might be a little cranky when she returns to work; we've given up fried foods for lent :)

Our Projects

We've been busy in the house -
1) We have a 6 week old baby (maybe you've heard about her)
2) Mary's been working hard on the IL Marathon - She even made an appearance on TV! Watch it.
3) I've been re-designing the Boy Scout website - PrairielandsBSA.org

My sister Kathy & Andrew, and their girls Daphne and Briget visited this weekend. Pics to come. The girls loved Rosalie; they held her and did a lot of petting her. We ended up at the play area at the mall; a small playground for little kids - I don't know why 9 year olds were playing there, or why it has a doctor theme. It was our first occasion to bust out the stroller to push Rosalie around (and introduce her to thousands of germs). I can see bringing Rosalie back to the mall when she's older to play - I wonder if there are other indoor playgrounds in CU?

Rosalie's One Month Bday

Today is Rosalie's one month birthday! We celebrated with chinese food.
In the past two weeks, Rosalie has met some new friends and family:
