My Birthday and Lanie

We got to celebrate my 35th birthday in Utah with my sister's family. Angie and I got facials and pedicures and spent some time shopping.

Mike ordered this Nothing Bundt Cake, which was really darling and yummy, too.




We loved spending part of our Spring Break with the Wards and getting to know our new niece/cousin, Lanie. Our whole family was completely enamored with her. She is such a little doll, with a perfect temperament. I couldn't get enough of holding her and neither could Mike or the kids.








One funny thing about Lydia and Lanie: We started to affectionately call Lydia the "Baby Stalker." She could not get enough of seeing and holding her--to an extreme level. Where the other kids would pay Lanie a bit of attention and then be on their way, Lydia had a one track mind the entire time we were there. We would often find Lydia trying to sneak into where Lanie was sleeping, just to get a glimpse of her. One time Angie had fallen asleep feeding Lanie in her room. She awoke to Lydia only inches from her face, "Where is Lanie? I need to see Lanie." There is no question that Lydia has those Mothering Instincts...and doesn't she looked just delighted in this picture?
