New Arrival!

On Monday, March 22, we got a wonderful gift! My step-sister, Christine, gave birth to a lovely little girl named Chloe Elizabeth Johnson!! She weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 21 inches long (I love a big baby!). Stephen and I are pleased to have a new little niece and Esme is thrilled to have a new cousin- especially one that might turn out to be as big as she is! We can't wait to meet her.

In other news, we had Esme's three month photos taken and had her visit the Easter Bunny for the first time! The three month pics turned out lovely (a bit corny, but lovely) and I can't wait to pick up our prints when we return from England. I hope to have family pics and more pics of Esme done when we visit Seattle next. My friend Tiffany knows a great photographer named Holly Aprecio and we are hoping to get an appointment with her.

Here are a few of my favorites...

The Easter Bunny picture didn't turn out that great but I am probably to blame for that. She fell asleep right after her photo shoot at JC Penney and I had to wake her up for the bunny pics. There weren't any crocodile tears but she doesn't look too impressed!

We are leaving for England tonight and I am scared out of my wits! Not because I am afraid Esme will misbehave (I have that covered as you will discover in a moment!) but because I hate airplanes. I am petrified of them and have panic attacks every time I travel, even though I do it all the time. I can't even drink to calm the nerves- i am breastfeeding and I dont think Ez would appreciate it!

I am always the person sighing when someone brings a fussy baby on the plane. Esme isn't normally a fussy baby but I want to be prepared and hopefully butter the other passengers up so that they wont glare or sigh too loudly! I made little gift bags for the seats surrounding us. I put a little note from Esme (see picture), candy and earplugs in the bags. I hope they are a hit!




We will be in England for nearly two weeks so it might be a while before I am able to update. Esme can't wait to meet her English family!!!
