New Photos

Just wanted to put up a few new photos from Halloween and Maddie's 2-year old pictures taken at Sears. It's her big 2-year old birthday party on Saturday. Crazy how fast time flies. She continues to be such a joy to us and a great big sister. Norah has become quite the happy little one too. She has found her screaming voice - and can be heard all through the house, squealing away with delight. Brandon thinks she is going to be a ham, and I am beginning to see it too! I look forward to watching my girls interact more together. Right now, Norah loves to watch Maddie move about. Maddie really makes Norah smile. I was so blessed to have a sister and close friend - makes me so happy that my girls will have that with each other as well. Here are the photos!

Wonderful Fall Fun with Family

We had a great time last weekend. We hadn't traveled really anywhere since Norah was born, so I was definitely ready for a get-away. We met Kelly and Brian at a hotel in Bloomington, where we just spent one night, catching up and laughing lots. I sure do miss those two! But when we do get together, we always have a blast. I cherish those times. On Sunday, we went to an apple orchard in Hastings. It was so fun and the apples were so tasty! There was so much for Maddie to do there, we probably could have spent all day there! Anyways, here are some photos - happy fall!

Norah is 3 Months

It's crazy how time flies! Norah is already 3 months old. She is becoming a more content child and much more happy - thank God!! The first few months here have been interesting, to say the least. Here are some photos of her at 3 months.






Maddie continues to grow up more and more before my very eyes! Here is some more video of her: reading to elmo and dancing to Sandstorm. :)

Maddie dancing!

Here is some video of Maddie being her happy, joyful self. She is so much fun to watch - I could sit and watch her enjoy life all day. I sure learn a lot from her at the same time! Enjoy. :)

Norah's Happy Time

I love watching my girls smile and laugh - here is some video of Norah, during her happiest time of the day, right away in the morning.

Norah's Newborn photos

Check out these awesome photos of Norah! They were taken when she was nine days old. I just love them!! They were taken by Inspired Baby, here in our home.

Some new pictures...

Still having a hard time getting to the computer to update photos, as some of you have been asking for. :) I am doing this at midnight...if that tells you anything. I also drank caffinated coffee at a wedding we went to this evening, so I am having some trouble getting to sleep. Not a good idea! Especially when my two little girls don't exactly let me sleep in!!

Norah turned 2 months this past weekend! Time sure does fly. Maddie and I enjoyed some mommy/Maddie time on Saturday night. Her and I don't get to do much alone these days - and she doesn't get nearly as much attention from me as she once did, so we had a special time together. She is growing up so fast - it is hard to see my little baby changing so much each day. I could tell she got a kick out of being with just me, hanging out in Bayfront park for a dance festival. Norah is doing well and continuing to grow lots too. I am definitely starting to get into the groove of having two. Life has not been nearly as overwhelming, and I am finding ways to keep my sanity each day. I have been able to get out more with both of them - doing our usual playdates and errands during the week days. I need to get out and be with other adults, or I start to go a little stir crazy. :)

Here are a few new pictures for you all to enjoy! I'll keep them coming!
