Madeline's First Haircut.

Despite the look of terror on her face, the experience was actually quite good. Kid's Hair knows what they're doing. After much consideration I decided it was time for Madeline to have her hair trimmed for the first time. They took off about an inch, making her hair all nice and even in the back. It looks like a really sweet bob. The french braid was super sweet too! Then it came to be bathtime and out it came. Maybe she'll let me try to put another braid in tomorrow? We'll have to see if she has the patience again.

Welcome Lucy Elizabeth!

We welcomed Lucy into the world on Friday, October 1st at 7:29am. She weighed 7lbs and 14oz, 20.5 inches long. She's perfect in every way.
It's two weeks later and life with two remains an adjustment but Lucy is such a good baby-waking mainly to eat and to look around for a little while. Big sister Madeline adores her "baby". No shortage of kisses and hugs and high fives for her! Mom is recovering much better this time around. And dad, well, I think he's doing okay too.

More photos will be posted soon.

Pregnancy update

Going into the 38th week. Is it over yet? Nope. At my appointment last week, doctor said I'm 2 centimeters dialated. But....I'm not having any contractions. I'm growing more uncomfortable by the day....I'm ready to meet this little babe! Come out come out where ever you are! You can see by the new photo posted on the right that I am WAY pregnant now. Good grief.

The last few weeks of summer....

Updates

Hi everyone. My posts have been non-existent over the last several months. Now that summer is winding down I'm hoping to stay a little more current with our posts; photos and happenings.

Currently, it's a lovely 67 degrees outside. The windows are open and Madeline and I are just hanging out in her little playroom watching, for what is likely the 100th time this week, the Little Mermaid. She's obsessed with Ariel and the music. In fact, she likes to imitate Ariel singing and Ursula laughing. It's hilarious.

We celebrated Madeline's 2nd birthday on the 20th with a trip to the Minnesota Zoo. She LOVED the monkey's. Likely because they remind her of herself ;-) She also loved the aquatic area, sharks, fish and other water creatures. It was one of those humid sticky days in the 90's so we didn't stay long. I hope to get those photos off my camera and posted soon. Stay tuned.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and it's just simply not going by quickly enough. I'm anxious to meet this little princess who is constantly wiggling around in utero. I hope Madeline adapts well to this big change coming soon.....

And lastly, we're settled into the house, it looks fantastic and while we have many more projects in our future, we are likely finished for the winter, although we'll still work on getting John's bar and mancave assembled over the next few months.

Talk soon.
