...was full of five million and three pictures of Tessa, with and without her siblings and in various stages of plumping up.
And THREE WEEKS (!!!!) of meals from three hundred generous-hearted people. What a huge help; thank you, thank you, thank you to every last one of you. Truly. This is just one example from a very talented and loving overachiever. Not documenting the cookie designs would've been inexcusable. (We love you, Ashlee!)
Also, lovely welcome-baby flowers and a surprise (amazing!!) big sibling package from Aunt Sarah.
It also held the last of the garden harvest. And enthusiastic green bean-cutting.
And a slightly off-her-rocker Mama taking all the kids acorn-hunting in the woods when Tessa had been here just a week (but none of us regretted it a bit).
And (maybe?) our last campfire until next year.
And Tessa's first bath.
And her smiliest bath.
And a visit from Spiderman (Tadhg's Halloween costume came in the mail--what ecstasy!!!).

And an adventure to Frog Pond.
And THE MOST DISTRACTED attempt at laundry-folding I've ever experienced (never has a baby so irresistibly grinned and jabbered).
And a smattering of everything in between.
