Instant Classic

Ah, yes, doesn't this just make you smile. The joy in a child's eye's visiting Santa....or not....

3rd annual Playgroup Christmas Party

Some friends have come and gone, the faces have grown up a bit, but the laughter and fun never stops.

Decorating Christmas cookies! This is the first year we've been able to do more art/craft type activities with these kiddos and it makes the get together's extra special.

My Mom was here so we were able to capture two rare photographs of the Mom's
and the Mom's and the kids.


Silly fun!

EJ!

Hannah!

And here is my Brady Bear. When I do my "Christmas Card Outtake" post you'll see why hiding from the camera is the new norm for photographing Brady.

Because it's been awhile....

....here are some pictures mostly of my sweet little Lulu and a few guest appearances by Mema, Brady and I.

In her car seat before her Well Baby Appointment today.
8 lbs 4 oz (47th %)
Height is in the 60th % and Head Circumference 62nd%
Yes she has a pink pea coat on and yes, I have a matching one!

I love this shot.

Sound asleep in her beautiful bassinet.

Just because it makes me laugh.

Big Boy Bed

Several weeks ago, I let my baby boy take a big step into a "toddler bed". He did fantastic with that little step. Today, a bigger step, into a real "big boy bed".... His full size mattress arrived and although we have no bedding (I'm appauled at bedding prices) for it except the new cute sheets you'll see below and we're having some headboard/footboard issues, he is SO very excited about his big boy bed, he even asked to take a nap, key word being ASKED.

Lucy and I checking out the big boy bed with big brother.

Sound asleep, at first he asked if I could rest with him and I said, sure. But then he said
"Mama, Mickey is going to rest with me, you can leave now"

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

And one to let you know that yes, Lucy sometimes opens her eyes...it's rare but when she does, she's a beauty.

Brothers and Sisters

Brady, 1 day old in his silly (adorable, I really love that hat) hat

Lucy, 1 day old, in her hat.

And my babies together. All is well.

Lucy's here,

and I will share all about it when time allows. Thank you to all of our family and friends for the support and kind words. We truly are blessed. Until tomorrow perhaps.
