Today in Pictures

Two years ago John and I were just a few short weeks from losing our DINK status. (Dual Income No Kids). Now, only 24 months later we are blessed with two beautiful little girls. And we love them more than life itself. Even when they smear peas in their hair.....





They make us laugh. They make us cry. They make us love each other even more.

I finally got a remote for my camera, so I played with it a little this afternoon. I was having a little bit of trouble at first and couldn't get it to take the picture. This last pic is a result of me trying to figure out what the deal was and point the sensor in the right place.

Classic Shot.

Some Pictures from Today

Natalie likes looking out the front door. We had some storms this afternoon, so she watched it POUR down.





Have I said yet how I just can't get used to how big Abigail is in comparison to Natalie?

A Couple of Pages!

Ok, so I'm a tad bit sleep deprived, but I just needed to scrap. I got 2 pages done.



I also decided I would throw my hat in the ring for the Design Team call over at The Scrapbook Nook. They had over 100 applications, so I didn't figure I had much of a shot. I found out yesterday that I made the top 25! So now over the next couple weeks, we're all getting acquainted on the forum and we'll have a few challenges to do. There are only 4 or 5 spots and there are some amazing scrappers in the running, but I know it will be fun regardless of the outcome.

A couple of other tidbits from today:
Natalie is obsessed with pretending to drink out of water bottles.

And Miss. Pudgy says hello!

Two Snap Shots

She rarely has her eyes open for more than a few minutes at a time. But I managed to get a shot of her awake.



And another daddy/daughter moment I snuck up on.

WeekOne, Come and Gone

I can't get over how well I'm feeling. I'm almost afraid to say that for fear that I'll jinx it. I did really well with my first C-section with Natalie that I never expected to do even better this time around. I have had to make sure I keep a dose of Motrin and the occasional pain meds in my system, but dare I say I feel almost back to normal. Abigail has only woken up 2-3 times the past couple nights to eat, so I'm getting some decent sleep.

I attempted to take a few pictures yesterday with John and the baby. We just don't have good natural light in our house, so I've been debating investing in a good external flash. Here's a couple of the ones I took.



And when Daddy's in charge of bath time, this is what happens.


Natalie is adjusting really well, and loves her baby sister. Yesterday afternoon I had my Dr. Appt. to get my staples out. We left while Natalie was taking her nap. My mom said that when she got up, she went over to the baby glider where we've been letting Abigail sleep during the day. When she saw she wasn't in there she exclaimed, "Oh No!!"

And finally I'll leave you with a page I did yesterday. I saw this title on a page by Stephanie Howell, just right after her second little girl was born. This sentiment immediately comes to mind when I think of my family.
