Welcome Little One!

Madelyn Renae was born on July 5th at 6:15 am!

I love this picture of her - I always want to remember how my babies looked in the hospital the first time I met them so fresh and brand new - they change so fast!

38 Weeks

One week before the scheduled c-section...

Big Boy Bed

At the end of May we moved Graham from his nursery into his new "big boy room."

It was an adjustment for all of us. Graham was excited about his bunk beds but also a little confused about his old room and the new pink curtains that had gone up. And it was hard for me as his mom to see my little boy in such a big bed. I guess it's just one more baby step toward more freedom for him, which is great but I have to admit that I was sad I wouldn't be rocking him anymore. He truly is a big boy these days...

Mountain Weekend

Every year we do a mountain weekend with some of our best friends and this year we went in May. Saturday turned out to be a rainy day but we had fun outside anyways. G loved playing in a stream and we enjoyed hanging out in one of the parks.

Easter 2011

Here are a few pictures from our Easter this year. We had a great, low-key day just the three of us.

Belly Pic (28 weeks)

I bought some bunny masks thinking they would be fun and that G would enjoy them.
Well, not so much...but I thought it was funny to see P in one.

The Envelope

Last time I was pregnant, we decided not to find out what we were having. But this time around, we were torn and had the ultrasound tech put the picture in an envelope just in case. For weeks the envelope sat on our counter (and believe me I held that thing up to lights and did anything possible to try and see through it - but my doctor's office uses good, THICK envelopes). We finally decided to go out for a date night and open it...

...and this is what it said!! We were so surprised and excited!

Whirlwind...

So the last few months have been a whirlwind at our house...I'm sure you noticed a screeching halt to the blog posts. And so much for belly pics this time around. I really did have good intentions and will still try to post a few we have taken along the way.

So, what have we been up to? We have done some major projects around the house making room for another baby (more on that to come), have done some traveling to visit family and friends, and have tried to relax a little in the midst of everything.

I stumbled across these two pictures of G the other day and just wanted to share them. They both make me laugh...hope you enjoy them!
