July Vacation Part 2

Kevin headed home to go back to work, but the girls and I stayed with Mimi and Poppop for 2 extra days. We were having so much fun, I don't have any pictures of those days! We went to the park, played outside, played inside, napped, all sorts of great things :) They are excellent hosts!

Laura came to pick us up on Tuesday and we stayed with her and Bill through Thursday. Wednesday was our birthday, and I got to hang out with this happy guy! :)

Chloe got some practice for feeding April.....Connor was who she practiced with! :) She's actually quite good :) This was probably the highlight of her trip ;) and the look on Connor's face in the second picture looks like "hurry up girl!"

We played in the pool and took walks with Cinnamon, because Chloe loves being outdoors despite the 100 degree temperatures. Chloe also started blowing bubbles during our time with Bill and Laura - really blowing them, instead of just thinking that she was!

We, like always, tried to get a picture of the cousins - this one is the best one I got.

Here's what 28 times 2 looks like :)

We had a great visit & my birthday was made complete by having Kevin come on Wednesday night. Thursday we were back in the car, making our way to "Part 3" (coming soon!).

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
