Things to do to make your baby laugh....

Bathtime!!!

Zoo Blooms

If you ever have a chance to get to the zoo during the month of April and early May, you need to go to see the beautiful gardens. And of course, it's always a good photo opp too!

Here are Anna's pics from last year:

Megan's Baptism

Megan was Baptized on Sunday, April 19 by Fr. Jeff at St. Pat's. She was absolutely wonderful all day. Her Godparents are Matthew and Mandy and we are so thankful they could celebrate with us (especially Matthew, Kasey, and Myla who had to journey from South Bend after many crazy weekends of traveling already)

God bless sweet little Megan!

Easter Photo Shoot
(To answer your question, yes I cannot wait to dress the girls in pretty matching dresses for occasions such as this =)

Back In the Game
Or something like that...I'm not going to pretend that I'm going to be posting anymore frequently just because it's been too long. We finally got our computer back - with a brand new hard drive. Yes that means that we lost everything on the old one. We had most of our pictures on an ITouch so we can get those, but any videos from our camera are gone and of course ALL documents. (If anyone knows how to save our videos back from this blog, PLEASE let us know!!!)

So here are some pics to catch you up on the last month of our lives.

After our day at the zoo, Anna slept for about 20 minutes with her hand in her snack trap -too funny!

Megan is becoming so smiley -it's the BEST!

Have you met Anna and Megan's newest cousin Will? Probably not b/c I'm so bad at posting. Mandy and Rick had Will one month before Megan. It will be fun to watch them grow up together.

Crash & Burn
My excuse this week for not blogging: our hard drive crashed. I have no access to pictures and dialogue updates aren't as interesting. We have to wait a few days for Geek Squad to complete their mission. In the meantime, check out our links below. They're more exciting than our blog anyway.

Mommy Daughter Date

Anna had a big day last week ~ we went on a mommy daughter date to the mall and she got her ears pierced! Before you pass judgement, take a look at the pictures - they're darling!

Yes, she cried, but truly it was only like when she gets a shot - over and done. Our friends Anita, Gweneth, and Callie came to give us moral support as well as Grandma and Grandpa (on their way to Lexington for Uncle Drew's birthday). She is awesome at letting me clean them and even ASKS for me to do it. Strange kid, I know. (She also enjoys the nasal aspirator.) I heard that you either do it before 2 or don't plan on it til after they're 8. Because of Anna's little baby hair, I decided now was a good time. It helps her look more like a little girl. You'd be surprised how many people mistake my dressed-from-head-to-toe-in-pink baby girl for a boy.

SISTERS....

I'm so thankful that my girls have a sister. I try to catch these precious sister moments on film any chance I get. Anna is really sweet with Megan and truly loves to "play" with her and check her out. The funniest thing is watching her slowly regress back to her infancy. She loves to lay on her back under the baby gym and play with it with her feet (I'm talking about Anna here). She also loves for us to attempt to swaddle her, rock her in our arms, burp her, and 'shoosh' her. We'll have to try to get this on video to share. It's really cute!

Meeting Megan

If any of you link up to Matthew and Kasey's blog through ours, you will see that they are showing us up on their Megan exposures. I guess that earns them aunt and uncle brownie points right now =) Here are pics from their visit to NKY a few weeks after Megan was born. Notice the beautiful bassinet cake - it's homemade by Kasey! (You may be able to contact her via blog to place special orders.)
