A Blessed Event

Sunday, July 5th was Maya's big day and she had a lot of family come to support her. I was a little worried that the beautiful dress Grandma Tracy made for her wouldn't fit where she has already gained 4lbs but it was a perfect fit. Thank you Grandma Tracy.

Mommy even went to the effort of painting Maya's fingernails so the ring that Grandma Jewels got for her would look even more pretty on her little hand.

Aunt Rachel enjoyed holding and feeding Maya until she loaded her shorts, spewing poo all over her, her dress(yes it came clean), and Aunt Rachel's skirt.

After a wonderful dinner of Smoked BBQ Pork sandwiches, spinach salad, frog eye salad, and root beer floats the busy day came to an end with Maya and Grandma Jewels taking a nap.

We are truly blessed to have 2 beautiful girls and a loving and supportive family and group of

friends. Thank you to everyone for all you do!

Strollers & Potties

Well after much deliberation, research, and contemplation we have decided to add another member to our ever growing family...we are pleased to introduce 'Cady' weighing 48 lbs and 52" long and she's the Cadillac of strollers.

Jensen just can't get enough of her new ride. We took it out to the park the very afternoon we got it and took the girls for a ride around the greenbelt. When we got home I left the stroller up and where did I find her just 15 minutes later...she'd climbed in and buckled her self into her seat!

We are also getting Jensen acquainted with the potty. We went to the store and let her pick one out and bought the "Elmo Potty Time" DVD to go along with it. She loves the DVD, but the potty, not so much. She likes to sit on it with her clothes on, she tells us when she's got to go or when she's gone, but the moment you try to take her diaper off and make her sit on it she freaks out. No worries, though, all in her own time...right? She does however, have the technique down, but she definitely doesn't like to be interrupted while she's reading!
