The Freshest Start There Is

Hello, Readers!
I apologize dearly for my longer than intended hiatus from blogging.  But please know that I've been jotting and storing ideas for my blog all along, and will do my best to post at least once a week while back in school!  Today's post is dedicated to all the little babies that have joined us in 2010!

Meet Javier:

Javier was born to proud parents, Sarah and Gabriel on November 24th.  (Sarah is an Occupational Therapist at GWU Hospital -- one of my favorite former co-workers!) From what I gather thus far, Javi's hobbies are sleeping with a smile on his face and showing off his dimple.  This one's gonna be a soccer-playing heartbreaker, ladies.  Keep your girls inside the house when Javi's in town!


Sarah + Gabriel = Javier.  The Laryeas :)


Next, Meet Claire:

Claire was born on December 15th, to parents Katy and Mike.  (Katy is a friend of mine from my first graduate school go-around at GWU.) I selected this photo of Claire because I admire her relaxed sleeping style, with both hands behind the head.  

To reference Katy's baby announcements, what a good and perfect gift :)

Finally, Meet Max:

 
Little Max was born on December 8 to proud and lovely parents, Amanda and Bobby.  (You know them.  They're my buds from Kalamazoo.)  In addition to fulfilling his role as a super-cute baby and son.... Max is also a little brother!!

Sitting watchfully next to Max is Brady, Amanda and Bobby's first son who is awesome at hockey, reading books, and is a natural at big brotherhood. You're a lucky dude, Max.  Way to go!

Check out Amanda and Bobby below! :) 

Congratulations to all happy families... what a nice way to ring on the New Year! 

And Happy 2011 to all of you!
