Avery, 2 Weeks Old.

Here are some pictures of Avery from this past week. She is 2 weeks old and will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. She has been a perfect newborn and we feel so blessed to have welcomed such a wonderful little girl into our family!

Thanks Nana!

Nana came to stay with us 2 weeks before baby Avery was born, and she will be leaving us in less than a week. She has been so much help to us. We are eternally grateful for the loving help she's given us and her willing heart to serve us as we adjust to life with three little ones. Nana, we love you and thanks for being here with us. You will be greatly missed!

Avery's First Week

Our first week at home has been so much fun, tiring but wonderful. These are from some quiet moments after our wild woman went to bed. The kids are adjusting well so far to baby Avery. They both love to give her lots of kisses!

Happy Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year. It was so restful...thanks Timmay!

Pictures I Like

I just had to post these because I think they are too cute!

Looking Back, Anna Walking

I was up last night, having a hard time sleeping and found this old clip of Anna taking some of her first toddling steps. It's hard to remember this sweet time with her now that she's running all over the place.

Coolidge Park

We went to Coolidge Park last week on a very beautiful day. I'm so glad we did, we had rain this entire weekend.

Anna found this pearl necklace and demanded to wear it...she even got mad when I tried to sneak it off her before leaving for the park.

Noah and John Thomas love playing baseball at the park. They take turns being the hitter and the catcher.

John Thomas is a little Nebraska fan.

And Noah was sporting his Yankee's hat from the Spring Training game.

The Zoo with Nana!

We went to the zoo with Nana and had a great time. Noah carried his frog with him the entire time and it was a big hit with his friends! Who knew?

Anna stayed on the other side of the petting zoo fence with her Nana. She did not want to get too close to the goats!

Noah getting all dressed up at the zoo...he calls himself an explorer when he does this.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Noah loves to sing this song, and he had a lot of fun playing his "guitar" too!
