Here are some happy baby photos for Noella's fourth month. She is looking more and more like Mariel when she was a baby. Noella is rolling over, babbling, and drooling like a pro. What more could you want from a four month old?

And here is the big smile :)

We had a gorgeous (hot) weekend in St. Louis. Patrick and I were very busy around the house- working on the yard, kitchen, and all sorts of other projects (Can I call laundry and cooking "projects?" It makes them sound better). Saturday night we got to go out to the Boathouse in Forest Park and enjoy some food and beer with the Pratts, which was a lovely treat. Here are Patrick and Mariel on our pre-dinner stroll around the park.
