Mira the extrovert

Mira met everybody at church today and hardly raised a fuss even though she was awake for quite a long time.

Mira’s first days

Here are some more pictures of Mira, from the hospital to coming home. Sorry it took so long to get them up, my hands have been a little full… 🙂      

Through the windows

A few views from our apartment, mostly while it was snowing. Unfortunately you could see the snow best in front of the not-so-aesthetically-pleasing buildings, and I was locked in battle with a terrible cold monster (*sniffle*), so I didn’t go outside to find a better spot.

In one of these… Continue reading Church History
