Brooke meets her Little Sister

Brooke came to meet her little Sister a couple hours after she was born and loved her immediately.

She wanted to help with her from the start...loves to give her kisses.








Brooke meets her Big Sister and gets her new Baby as well.

Welcome to the world ~~Maggie Elise~~

Maggie Elise was welcomed into the world Wednesday July 15th, 2009 at 7:49 AM weighing 6lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long....and more hair than any baby I have ever known. She is so beautiful and looks just like her Daddy.

Last Days as an Only child

We took to Brooke to Chuck E Cheese the day before Maggie came...Brooke had a blast.

Me & My Girl...Chris and her riding the Big Rocking horse.









She used almost ALL her tokens on the Barney ride.








Hangin in the pool...lounging in the rocking chair. The last picture, she got stung by a yellowjacket...poor thing, I have never heard her scream that loud and that long...it was so painful that she kept the ice on it for a while...now she is afraid of the water...b/c if she anything moving she freaks out...that bothers me so bad.

First Day of Maternity Leave

I had originally painted Maggie's wall letters but I was not happy with them and decided to get scarpbbok paper and decopage them...I love how they turned out. I am thinking it needs something else but will just have to stumble across it. Her room colors are very hard to find so I am thinking I might decopage some other stuff to match it.

37 weeks Belly Pics

I am carrying Maggie so different than I carried Brooke...straight out.

Relaxing for some....Nesting for others!!

I am 36 weeks preggo today....Chris took these pics before I went to work Saturday....Man I look as tired as I feel.





Brooke truly has the life....could she look any more comfy in the Rocker...watching Tigger & Pooh. She has been really crabby and clingy the past week or so....I think we are working on our molars and they are making her that way.








My nesting comes in spurts and at random...this past weekend the pantry was bugging me...so I spent the morning re-organizing...before you would open the door and pray something did not fall on you. I know it is stocked with junk....I'm pregnant with a 2 year old...haha





Our neighbors little girl Ava had her 3rd birthday party last weekend. Brooke had no fear of the pool at the end of the slide...even though the bigger kids were sliding down and almost hitting her. Chris went home and got her pool but she stilled wanted to play in the bigger one....she did hang out for a little bit in her pool with some of the neighbor kids. My favorite is the one where she is lounging back with her feet propped up.
