Fathers

Behind father Shaun is a couple of photos of Shaun's grandfather, who passed away before Saraphina was born. Perhaps it's no coincidence that his image has been captured in this photo. He would have been very proud of Shaun and of Saraphina.

Do it for Saraphina!

Grandpa Time

Saraphina has been delighting all her grandparents this week. We've all been lucky enough to have a little time with her while Kris and Shaun try to get a little work done.

Here she is snuggling with Grandpa Dave.

Outgrowing Everything

Kris and Shaun found the perfect Halloween costume for Saraphina. But then we realized that by October, she will be too large for it so she is wearing it now in anticipation of Halloween.

You can tell she really likes it. During happy colic-free moments, she makes baby gurgling sounds and focuses on near and distant objects. Her favorite focal point is anything with lights.

She recognizes Mom and Dad and has given Grandpa Dave a couple of really big smiles.

Kris and Shaun are getting longer periods of sleep at night. That means Grandma Nan gets a little more awake time with Saraphina during the day.

Team Seraphine

Oldest cousin visits youngest cousin. What a lucky girl Saraphina is to have her two cousins closeby.

I have 12 cousins and a sister on my mom's side and every one of them is a special friend because we spent a lot of time together as kids. We played together and got into trouble together. Sixty years later, we still laugh about how clever we were.

I see some really fun family celebrations ahead.

I don't think this one needs any explanation.

Saraphina's Song

Shaun has already written a children's story for Saraphina and has composed a couple of songs. Here he is sharing his latest song with his musical inspiration.

While Shaun's dedication awesome, it's providing fodder for a lot of teasing from his friends... some of who are awesome fathers themselves.
