Yes. It is about time.

We have entered the blogging world, and yes it is about time.

Adam and I follow a trend where our world seems to drastically change about every two years. We met in New York, fell in love and got married. Next, we moved to San Francisco where we worked hard and played hard. Now, we are in Palo Alto, CA where Adam is attending school at Stanford, and I am tending to our new little addition to the Ward family.. Adeline Cole Ward.






I meant to start this blog shortly after I had her, seriously underestimating the demands of having a newborn. Now that five months have passed, the fog has lifted a bit, I am getting around to it.
As for our new little one, we are enamoured. She has a fiery personality, and is full of charm. She is the center of our world.. and demands that it be that way. It has been both a very long and short five months. I tear up to think how much she has already grown and changed.. but I do not necessarily yearn for the early days of colic, a swollen chest and sleepless nights.
I am adjusting to motherhood well. It is a different world than the workplace (obviously) and I find it much more fulfilling. (although I do long to wear something pretty and play dress-up with brides every once in a while..)
With what precious spare time I have- I am trying to expand my cooking abilities, play a meaner tennis match, read faster... (in between nap times), and dream and plot about home decor. I have also found myself to be a frequent "hostess" to Adam's business school colleagues.. which just adds pressure to my new cooking abilities.
I also hope to develop better blogging skills. I promise I will learn how to make the pages more interesting and pretty to look at. For those who know me.. computer skills are not my thing ;)
