What a year it has been - it's hard to believe Jemma has passed the one year mark of her birth. Although I knew my life would be changing with the addition of a second baby, I really had NO IDEA how different the world would look one year on from her birth. Although I know some things have changed permanently (ie: our psyche and our awareness of pandemics!), I still hope she'll be able to experience a life in the future that looks more like our world did before she was born.
And get to meet her grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins IN PERSON someday!
Jem is... so fun! She's spunky, adventurous, clever, enthusiastic, brave, determined, vocal, and focused. We adore her. Sometimes I have NO IDEA how best to relate to her, but I've found dance parties to significantly improve our relational-rapport (seriously. The kid receives love via dance parties... so dance parties happen a lot around here!).
Enjoy some picts of our girl!
And, of course, Mara is growing up and becoming SUCH a capable little girl! Here's some new(ish) pictures of her:
