we've found Hazel like this three times today. she just lies there smiling at us.

and here she is, four months old this week, and showing that she's bigger than her orange bear now.

it was this on this day last year that we discovered she was for real. i kept wondering if i was pregnant, but all the tests i took were inconclusive. that was back before my bike got wrecked, and i decided to take a long bike ride across town that morning after i got the kids off to school. i stopped in at a Dollar Tree and bought three pregnancy tests (i had bought 4 the week before). i raced back home and did all three tests at once, and lo and behold, they were all positive! what a wonderful day that was! =)
