Chicago Wedding

We took the girls to Chicago over Memorial Day for a friend's wedding. They tried out the king sized bed, danced with Daddy, checked out the view from our hotel room and went to Fair Oaks farm to check out the cows. We even saw a cow give birth!

Lizzy sports her new role

Katherine One Month

Katherine is one month and a few days now. She was 9 lbs, 11.2 oz at her 4 week appointment. Needless to say, she is gaining well and continues to roll over and sleep well. Mommy and Daddy are happy. Photos? Oops, we'll try to be better!

Granny and Grandad are here!

Lizzy and Katherine have been having fun with Granny and Grandad, who are here from England for a couple weeks. Here is a rare photo of Daddy, Grandad and Lizzy making cookies.

Lizzy's Second Birthday

Lizzy's birthday was on April 17th. We went to the zoo and she had a great time at the dolphin show and looking for animals at all the enclosures. We opened some family gifts that day and she got roller blades, a truck and cars from Mommy and Daddy. Later in the week, she got a soccer goal from Grandma and Grandpa.

Her party was planned for a park near the house, but it rained more than it has all year, so we relocated to Chuck E. Cheese. The kids had a great time while the parents were exhausted from running after them for 2 hours. Contrary to last year, Lizzy ate 2 cupcakes, mostly just the icing, and reached for a third when Daddy stopped her! Lizzy got some great presents from her friends and had so much fun that she slept over 12 hours and I had to wake her in the morning!!

Katherine rolls over

At 11 days old, Katherine rolled over from tummy to back. Lizzy did this at 31 days (but Katherine has a head in the 6th percentile). The sister rivalry begins! We'll try to catch it on video.

Week one

She loves her monkey that she got from her big sister.

Katherine's first week has been relatively smooth. Grandma loves holding her new granddaughter and reading books with Lizzy. Katherine got a little jaundiced and ended up on a bili light for a few days. Looking much better now-no more yellow eyes and tanned face! She has also been a pretty good sleeper. She has been sleeping in the packnplay and bassinet, and of course in our arms and the Moby.
