Birthday Weekend

Wow! What a weekend!!It started when Mimi and Poppop got to town on Thursday afternoon. We took them and the girls to the mall on Friday to get some energy out....and April did the slide all by herself! :)

Here she goes:

She also discovered the tunnels....

Friday night, my cousin's family came over to give April her present since they could not come to the party....and we got this cute picture of Grace and Chloe:

and then Saturday was party day!!

We had a house-full of guests (because it was snowing! no chance of going outside...) but I think everyone had a great time. April loved the singing, and had no problem with her cupcake:

neither did this girl:

Aunt Laura and Connor came all the way to celebrate April :) Connor had a pretty good time!!

After lunch & cupcakes, it was time for presents!

April got so many nice things & cute clothes for the summer! She'll be the style icon of the church nursery :)

The rest of Saturday was spent playing with Grandma and Grandpa:

What a weekend! Tonight I take April to the doctor's for her one year check up. I'll be posting her stats and what she's up to at 12 months this week!! :)

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 ...
