Lottie at Five Weeks.

Finally, almost caught up. One week to go! Here's Jim at five weeks, for your comparing, pleasure. I probably could've picked a more flattering picture of him, huh.


On the other hand, Lottie looks like a little prize-fighter here in her several-days-late Valentine's Day onesie, so I guess it's even.

The most exciting event in Lottie's life in her fifth week was definitely the Great Ice Storm of '14. They'd been hyping it for weeks, but hey, it's Georgia, so I figured it'd be just another quarter inch of snow flurries that would melt before noon. Nope. Turns out it was four inches of solid ice that stuck around for days and took down trees and power lines across the state, leaving us without power for three days. So Lottie and Jim got to experience the joys of huddling in front of the fireplace and wearing six layers of clothes to stay warm.
