We had professional pictures of Caroline done this morning.  It will take a while for the proofs to come back, for us to pick which ones we want, and for them to eventually appear on the website.  Caroline behaved very well during the pictures, except for pee'ing and spitting up on Daddy while he was holding her.

Krista's sister Tonya and her son Thomas arrived here today for a visit.  This is the first time Tonya has seen Caroline and the first time Caroline has met either of her cousins (Thomas and Natalie).  Tonya and Thomas will be here for a week visiting.

Of course, Aunt Tonya commented on how absolutely cute and adorable Caroline is.

We just had to get out of the house for a bit on Monday, 3/20.  So, Caroline, Krista, Greg, & Grandma Eva Mae Blaum all went to Bel-Square mall in Bellevue.  We had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, which oddly enough was the place where Greg & Krista had their last meal out before Caroline was born.

This gave us a chance to try out the stroller and push Caroline around the indoor shopping mall for a bit.  She behaved very well during our brief visit to the mall.  Mommy bought her first pieces of post-partum clothing, Grandma found a nice pair of pants on a clearance rack, and Daddy bought a clock/CD player unit from The Sharper Image for Caroline's nursery.

Caroline got her first visit to a Tiffany's store while we were at the mall.  Mommy said, "Caroline, this is a store you're going to like when you're older."  Of course, this sent shivers up and down Daddy's spine...  he he he

In what was probably a record, Daddy was able to walk past both Baby Gap and Gymboree without feeling the need to walk in and buy something for his little girl.  Daddy was also able to resist stopping by his two favorite mall stops, Auntie Anne's pretzels and Orange Julius.
