So many blessings...

I turned 33 today! What a blessing to be serenaded by my 3 year old and to get to show off our new baby at the Halloween carnival! That's where Madeleine got her face painted. Lee took me out for lunch at Tillman's Roadhouse, I loved the smores for dessert with homemade marshmallows! A huge thank you to awesome Grandma Phyllis who babysat while Lee and I went on a birthday date!

My two kids!

I have two kids! Thanks to Charles Klein and Jessie Dirks who sent our October baby a Halloween welcome package. He is in a Halloween bib and a kitty hat.

And I took this photo of Madeleine in the bath last night. She loves to float! and play with bubbles.

Scrapbook Pages

My awesome aunt, Judith Nicholls, has gotten a new digital scrapbooking program and created some really cool scrapbook pages of Baby Everett. Enjoy!

A Trip to the Pediatrician

Today the whole family went to the pediatrician's office! It was time for Everett's 2 week weigh-in and Madeleine needed her flu shot. The pediatrician advised Lee and I to also get flu shots. Everett weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces (he was 6 lbs 5 oz at birth, and 6 lbs 1 oz when we left the hospital) and grew an inch! Now it was time for the flu shots. Madeleine had already discussed that mommy was to get the first shot, then daddy, then Madeleine. The parents did fine but when it was Madeleine's turn, Lee had to nearly hold her down. She did not want the shot! Next June when it is her 4 year check-up she will get 3 shots, I think that Lee will need to go with us because Madeleine was very strong and adamant in not wanting to get a shot!

Mommy and Me

Daddy and me

Brother and Sister

Pat Ewert at Lovers Lane UMC made Madeleine and Everett these adorable hats. When I took their photo today, they both decided to touch their nose!




And when they started to lean, they leaned together!

I'm awake!

Party in my crib, 2 am!

Big Sister, Little Brother

I love that when I asked Madeleine to sit near her Baby Brother for a photo, she immediately went and got her "pink baby" to be in the photo as well. Madeleine is in her ballerina costume, she wears it everyday!

Life is good!

Kids Grow Up So Fast!

I bought these cups for Madeleine when she was little. Lee and I would stack them for her and she would play with them, but she wasn't able to stack them herself. Since we have been preparing the baby's room, Madeleine has rediscovered all of her old toys. She got these cups out and by herself, stacked them correctly! I was amazed! Go, girl!
