Blue is my best color!

From Erin:

My mom says she was born in Hawaii, so my Papa Warren brought back a pretty outfit for me when he took his trip to Honolulu. Someday I want to go there too! Here's some pictures of me in my new dress - thank you Papa!

and once again i'm guilty of depraved indifference to my blog. i realize that i stopped right in the middle of my wedding story :-P

... so yeah it rained and we moved the ceremony inside, but we managed to get all the pics outside before the storm. the overcast skies actually made a very romantic setting and even the rain during the ceremony lent some coziness to the atmosphere. so long story short, it all worked out great and we had ohso much fun on our honeymoon (cruise to caribbean). after arriving home, i got bronchitis and missed yet another week of work. no worries though, because two months later i was pregnant and saw the light at the end of the professional/corporate ladder tunnel.

fast-forward to March 18, 2005: at 400a we were racing to the hospital and by noon we had a precious little baby girl! Erin Grace Welty weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 21 1/4 in long. she was worth all the pain of labor and is the greatest joy in our lives :-) tomorrow she'll be 4 months and is becoming more active all the time. she constantly scoots off of her play mat and rolls all over the place. i love being a stay-at-home mommy! more to come, i promise...

And this is Erin being baptized! Not surprisingly, she slept through the whole thing :-)

This is Erin's Baptism - our pastor is sharing some thoughts...
