She Sure is Loved

Some very special visitors have come to meet Kate during her first weeks.

My cousin Nici and her son Ryan who is in school at UCLA visited on June 11 when Kate was 6 days old.

These two now share the same birthday

Nana and Papa Williams took the train up from San Diego for the weekend to celebrate Steve's first Father's Day.

Daddy's Girl!

Aunt Rachel, Uncle Derek, and cousins Shane and Ella came for a swim day and mini BBQ after school on June 17th.

Ella can't wait for Kate to come and play in her room with her!

This is the best picture we could get of Shane with Kate. He let us know that "he is not interested in babies."

Kate celebrated her 2 week mark with visits from my good friends Chan and Kelly. 

I met Chan in graduate school at UCSB and would not have made it through without her. She just defended her dissertation and now is moving to Washington, DC in August for a post-doc. We sure are going to miss her!

I met Kelly at Pepperdine when I was a Master's student. She lives in the Bay area now, but was in LA for work and came to spend the evening with us.

GREAT Aunt Rosa (my dad's sister) and Uncle Matt visited on visited on Sunday, June 22. 

They came with a bag full of new books and girly gifts for Kate and home-cooked chicken enchiladas, veggies, and special jello for me and Steve!

Like the title of this post says: She Sure is Loved!
