This girl is no party pooper

Friends and family gathered at Grandpa Mike and Grandma Melanie's home to celebrate the wonder that is Leah Jaye Rauch.

Leah did well (minimal crying, quite sociable) even considering the following truths:

1) She met over 30 new people in one day (and when tested today - she remembered ALL their names!)
2) She was only 10 (and a half) weeks old at the time
3) She had to wear tights through most of the party (until she didn't anymore bc it was too warm - oh and maybe something seeped through)
4)It was the farthest she had every been from home in the exotic land of New Jersey
5) She only had 6 hours of sleep the night before (oh wait - that is a lot for her right now. . )
6) The presidential election is next week and she is getting anxious (who isn't?!)

Leah met her Great Aunt Jackie, Great Uncle Cary, Judi and Richard and all of her dad's cousins for the first time in addition to cousins Cory, Jay, and Keith.
A big day for one little girl.





Ok so she might not be a party pooper - but in this photo (Leah on Grandpa Mike's lap before being put in her car seat and heading home) there is poop. (Plastic bag behind her carries the day's used diapers.) Now if this isn't a well detailed log - we just don't know what is!!
