Matilda

Our daughter Matilda was born in early February. The past couple of months have been gorgeous, overwhelming, and unforgettable. I knew I was going to love her, but I was unprepared for how powerfully that love would take hold of me. It gets stronger every day.

Matilda is healthy and strong. She enjoys sunrise, her dog, long drives on windy roads, and moments of quiet contemplation. This week she started smiling—and now that’s all I can do, too.

If you’re wondering how Milo is adjusting to the new baby….

Thank you all for your kind words and warm support for our family. If I get to meet you on my next book tour somewhere around the world—chances are you’ll get to meet Matilda, too!

  14. Don’t listen to SheilaCSR. Nesting is a hairy gorilla’s prerogative.Is the toy that pyramid triangle cube thingy? Or the fleshlight? Or is it a subscription to The Onion? They had a headline recently that cracked me up:Just by including that here on your blog will probably increase your search engine traffic by 10fold.

  15. Hei kaikki.Kiitos femme mainiosta blogista, ja muille kiitos avartavista mielipiteistä.Minun mielestä rakkaus on myötäelämistä ja toisen huomioon ottamista.Rakastuminen on lähinnä himoa.Ei se himo puutu rakkaudestakaan.
