new pics :)

it's been almost a month since my last post! eek! life with baby means no free hands for typing... that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it ;) but patrik is holding her right now, so i'm taking advantage of the opportunity to catch up a little...

akeva is growing like crazy and getting more beautiful every day... she's starting to figure out how to smile back and is very alert... when she's awake :) and because i've started to get threatening emails about how i never post pictures of her, here are some from my sister's wedding:

she slept soundly for all the photos... but cried like a maniac during the entire ceremony!

as the tiniest bridesmaid, i had to make sure she matched the bride's color scheme...

we've been in california for about a week now and are flying back to albuquerque tomorrow, if'n there's no snow... i guess there was a big storm a couple days ago, so we had to stay in LA a little longer than planned. the wedding was a big family reunion (and our family is now much much bigger and louder and funner thanks to the addition of my sister's new stepsons-- check out her blog for more info)... here's a pic of us three sisters and the now-complete set of brothers-in-law... diverse group, eh? ;)









and here's my favorite moment from the wedding... sergio making samantha (and everyone else present) weep with his sweet words about how much he cares for her :*)
