Early Arrival

Our little girl was due Sept 7 but decided she couldn't wait. So, I got out of work one day earlier than I had planned and had a healthy baby girl instead of going to work. :)

Anatomy

We had our 20 week ultrasound last week and dun dun dun......

It's another girl!!!

We are really excited and so happy Addie gets a sister! Not sure if I will be so excited about this during the teenage years. You'll have to check back to the blog then. But in the meantime we're thrilled and Brian is totally excited to be completely outnumbered by all his girls!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We had fun coloring eggs and finding them and then eating the candy!

Time is flying

Addie had her 2nd birthday on Saturday and had a great time. I can't believe it has already been 2 years since she joined our family. We had a small get together with family and a couple of friends complete with a jumper (which we got to use for free...woohoo!), pinata, face painting (thanks Cece!), and sidewalk chalk! Please tell me that the rest of her growing up will be a little slower than the first 2 years....i may be changing my tune during the teenage years though huh?

She was so cute and CLEAN at the beginning of the party
(didn't last)

By the end, she had rubbed sidewalk all over her face and clothing, lost her hair clips, and was exhausted!
(although she looks upset, this is her saying "cheese")

My attempt at a monkey cake and cupcakes to appease those who didn't want anything to do with the animal. Addie LOVED having a monkey cake and made monkey sounds all day.

Happy Birthday to Addison!

Cousins and pals!

A long break...

I haven't forgotten about my blog, just been really, really, really tired and not feeling so well the last couple of months. The last thing I wanted to do was get on the computer and update my blog. So, I'm back. So why the long break? Well, we're having baby #2!!!!! Thus explaining the really, really, really tired and not feeling well. But, I'm finally starting to feel alive again and am really excited about this new addition. We keep asking Addie if she wants a boy baby or a girl baby, and she repeats whatever gender we have said second. I think she'll just be happy with a baby! Baby is due Sept 7 and we are all ecstatic!

Traditions

We just had our Christmas Party at church last night and tried to participate in the age old tradition of having our child see Santa. I was hoping Addie would be cooperative and we could snap a cute picture of her smiling wide eyed on Santa's lap. Not so much!





Why do we torture our kids? Notice Addie with the death grip on Brian's shirt. We never got her on Old Saint Nick's Lap.



Luckily Santa snuck up behind us before he left. Addie didn't know he was behind her. At least we got one smiling picture.

She was definitely happy to see him go. Hopefully this girl will learn she's got to butter him up for the goods!
