Virginia's Favorite Brush

Before Virginia was born, her great grandmother Gram gave her a beautiful silver monogrammed brush and comb set. Now that she has a little bit of hair, we are putting it to good use. Every night after bath time, we brush her red little head before we put her down for bed. Usually annoyed by such parental intrusions, Virginia amazingly does not object when we do this. Actually, she kind of likes it.

Staying Busy While My Parents Work

Virginia's nanny, Kim, has been wonderful about giving us video and photo updates of Virginia's days when we are at work. Hurray for IPhones! Here are a few highlights from the past couple of weeks:

Roll Tide Baby!

Virginia and Daddy cheered the Crimson Tide on their way to the National Championship. Virginia didn't get to see the Tide pull out the big win, since she had to go to bed during the middle of the first quarter. But what she lacked in staying power, she made up for in short term enthusiasm.

New Year's in California

After a whirlwind Christmas in Bama, we headed back to California for the New Year. We didn't have to feel sad about leaving my parents because they followed us back to California two days later to see our new house. We showed them all the Alameda sights and Dad offered us some much needed advice on making little repairs to the house.

We also celebrated Christmas (again!) with the Harveys upon our return. Virginia got a red wagon from Grammy and Poppy and a glowworm from Mom and Dad.
