New Arrival!








She is finally here! Our new baby - Brynn was born on Tuesday morning. We were beginning to wonder if she would ever be born, but once she decided she was ready- she came quickly! I was actually due last Wednesday and when my doctor checked me on Monday he said that I wasn't even close to being ready. However...on Monday night I ate eggplant parmesan at Olive Garden. (2 of my mom's neighbors swear it helps you go into labor.) It worked! Tuesday morning at 2 am my contractions started. We waited until 8 am to go into the hospital, by 9:30 I had my epidural, and she was born at 11:51! We were a little worried that she wouldn't make it down the birth canal because we had seen on the ultrasound that she was big, but she was a champ! She came down quickly and popped right out. She weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. and is 21.5 inches long. She bearly fits in her newborn outfit that I brought to take her home! So far she is a super good baby, a good eater and sleeper. The girls LOVE her and were so excited that we got to bring her home! We are so grateful that she is here safe and sound and that I am feeling good also. It is wonderful to add her to our little family (that isn't so little now!).

First Day of School


I'm a little late with this post, but our sweet DD1 started 1st grade this year and she LOVES it! She likes her teacher and her bff is in her class too. I like having her there with me all day! Such a cutie pie!

Butterflies



For the past 2 summers we have raised caterpillars into butterflies. The girls love to check the butterfly house every day to see how they are changing. On a warm afternoon in July we let the butterflies go. The kids each got to hold a butterfly on their finger before they flew away. It is a fun tradition that is educational too!

MMMM Smores!
