Let there be blog:

Hello to all!

Thanks Auntie G for setting up this blog for the internet unsavvy Mannings.

We are getting ready for our trip to see Nonna and Papa in the 'ville. Apologies in advance to Delta passengers en route BUF to JFK to RIC....there will likely be screaming (at this point it's not clear exactly who will break down first: Mama or baby).

Isabella is still trying to make it through the night without disrupting the entire neighborhood in the wee hours of the morn, but alas, has not yet been successful. We think she is not really all that interested in complying with the sleep training program: early rebellion, perhaps?

We're enjoying the spring here, now that it has (finally!) sprung. Vegetable gardens have been established out back; we'll see if Katrina's thumb is as green as she would like it to be.

That's all for now. Teething baby cryeth.
