p.s. I became a mother

In the nearly a year I've been away from blogging, the most eventful happening around here was the arrival of this little elf.

l.e. delights and challenges and inspires and changes and makes me laugh every single day.  In case it isn't obvious from the picture above, she is also the most beautiful baby in the world!  (See further photographic evidence below.)

Although I had written here before about infertility and adoption, so much of our process felt private and uncertain that I kept quiet about her long anticipated arrival.  Now that she is here, I'm thrilled to introduce her!  I don't believe this space is about to become a "mommy blog", but motherhood occupies most of my thoughts these days and I'm sure I'll be writing about it from time to time.  Now you have a smiling face to put with the words.

p.p.s  Can I tell you how delighted I am to add "motherhood" as a post label?
