A Trip to the Zoo

Lee's work schedule has changed and he now has every other Friday off! So, we took our first family outing to the zoo! At the entrance of the zoo, that's Lee pushing the double stroller with Everett in his car seat. And then that's me holding a fussy, sleepy Everett with a proud sister Madeleine.

One Month Photos

Baby Everett had his one month photos today. He was born 4 weeks ago tomorrow. He was a laid back angel about the entire thing. Enjoy! For those wanting to compare Everett to Madeleine, I have included her one month photo at the bottom. The first two are of Everett and the last photo is Madeleine's.

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!
