Little Model

I tried a little photo shoot with Adalyn yesterday and this is the only good shot she let me get before she got fussy. Hope she'll cooperate more with a professional in a few weeks.

Wow...8 weeks already

I can't believe that our baby girl is now 8 weeks old and that I will have to go back to work in 2 weeks. That will definitely not be an easy thing to do. It will be good to know that her big sister will still be at the same school with her for a year and she can check in on her. Marlee's teacher lets them stop by the baby room on the way to the lunchroom so that the ones who have siblings can say hi.
Here are just a few recent pics. We went to Chris' parents this past weekend for a Memorial Day cookout and really enjoyed the time to visit. It's always nice to have extra hands to help out with Adalyn.

Sleepy Girls

Marlee and Noodles still snoozing the other morning. Every morning when I get up and get ready they just stay in bed and sleep. I'm hoping Adalyn will take after her big sis and big a late sleeper.

Mothers Day Luncheon

Here are a few pics from the Mothers Day Lunch at Marlee's school. I look forward to this every year because it is fun to see what they have made for us moms. This year they even made something for the grandmothers if they came to the luncheon. I think Grammy & MeMe were thrilled with their place mat. Marlee & Adalyn are blessed to have such wonderful grandmothers.

Proud Big Sister

Not that you can't tell from the pics but Marlee is so happy to be a big sister. She is so into all that is going on especially the diaper changes. She loves to pop open Adalyn's outfit and undo the diaper so I can put the new one on. It will be a lot of fun to watch these two grow up together.

Our Easter Blessing

Miss Adalyn Brooke wasn't due until 4/10 but she decided to make her debut on Easter Sunday, 4/4. What a wonderful day to celebrate our risen Savior and welcome our 2nd daughter into the world. We look forward to life with our 2 beautiful blessings from God!!
I also have to say Thank God for epidurals. I was not able to get one with Marlee which was unexpected but this time everything worked out (thanks to alot of prayers) and I got it. So this labor experience was definitely alot different from the first.

Baby Showers

Pictures from the wonderful showers that friends and family have thrown for Adalyn. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such loving people.

Big Sister Class

Here are some pics from the Big Sister class that Marlee went to at St. Vincents a few weeks ago. I guess now that she has had official training she is ready to be the best big sister she can be to Adalyn.

February 2010 Snow

This time they predicted snow and we actually got it. Here at our house we ended up with about 3 inches which was enough to get out and play in and build the snowmen that Marlee wanted so badly to build. Noodles loved playing in the snow as well. She had balls of snow hanging from her fur. She looked pretty funny.

Circus

We decided to try the circus this year. This is the first event we have paid to take Marlee to where you have to sit and be still. I wasn't sure how she would do but she did really well. We all enjoyed this family outing.
