Hanging Around with my Girls

We're adjusting to being a family of four...Brooke has been wonderful with Maggie and loves to give lots of hugs and kisses. Brooke is loving all the baby stuff around and likes to swing her babies or to bounce them in the bouncy seat. I am getting used to Maggie's personality...she is not nearly as laid back as her older Sister...if Maggie is wet, or dirty, or hungry you will hear about it...she wants it done and done now...she has zero patience...but she is sweet and loving other than that. I love being the Mom of two beautiful girls who are so different...Brooke with her light brown curls and Big Blue eyes is my Little Mini me and Maggie who so far the Identical twin of her Dad...time will tell if she keeps the mounds of Black hair she was born with and what color herr eyes will be...either way she is beautiful.

Going Home

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.
