It's All About Marguerite

The last forty-eight hours have been all about our bundle of joy, Marguerite.

The sibling arguing and the poking and the jockeying for position, all in the quest to see who gets to hold Marguerite next, has begun. I've been busy trying to learn how to prepare baby bottles—something totally new for me. And we've run to find the camera with every squirm and thumb suck and cute gesture from our little Marguerite. The baby watching, baby smooching, and baby adoring has now taken firm hold, and we just can't get enough of Miss Marguerite.

Thanks to the arrival of our Georgia daughter, we are now here in Savannah, basking in 66 degree Christmas-time weather. We are staying at this great little home, near Savannah's historic district. Tomorrow, we explore Savannah, and the following day we head out to Tybee Island and the ocean. Counting Marguerite, we have four little Leones who have never seen the ocean. You can bet we'll be dipping toes in the water, no matter the weather.

Today we celebrated William's 9th birthday, Savannah style, eating at a local restaurant, exploring Forsythe park, having palm leaves woven for us, and even opening gifts right here in our quaint abode nestled in the historic district. Marguerite has given William a birthday to remember!

The following two photos were snapped in the hotel lobby this morning before we left the town of Marguerite's birth and headed toward Savannah.




Joe snapped this photo of Marguerite and me at the Savannah restaurant where we ate William's birthday dinner tonight. She is so smoochable.
