Ella Grace

Ella Grace joined us on Friday, April 16th. The labor was about 10 hours, but that was because the nurse wasn't rushing with the pitocin. She is so beautiful! I think she looks more like Emma every day! Emma loves her sister, and is very protective of her! Which is great because we were worried that she wasn't going to take to Ella very well. Ella is a good baby, pretty easy for the most part. But it was definitely an adjustment for me and Richard because we were getting used to sleeping through the night, and now its back to every 2-3 hours of waking up and making bottles! Ah the memories of what it was like with Emma! Things are going great with us, and now we are a complete family! No more kids :)

Easter!

Easter was so great this year! We had it at Teri and Kam's and it was sort of like a pot luck thing were everyone brought a side dish or dessert. My favorite side dish was this cornbread casserole that Jadi made, it was a big hit with everyone there! Emma had a lot of fun with the Easter egg hunt, I'm surprised she got the concept of finding an egg and putting it in her basket, but after awhile she tried eating the plastic eggs :)

Emma's 1st Birthday!

I know I'm really late on posting these. This whole semester has been very hectic between Richard, Emma, the pregnancy and school. But I finally have some time to post some pics! Emma's birthday was a BIG success! I never knew how stressful it would be to plan a birthday, so THANKS mom and dad for all the birthday parties you threw for me! Emma had family come in from out of town to and so many family and friends from the area came to celebrate with us! She got SO many clothes, which is great! And the spring dresses she got are so adorable on her! We had a great time at the party and so did Emma!

My handsome nephews!

My nephews are so adorable! Little Billy is almost 14 months and he looks JUST like my sister. And Christopher is almost 4 months and he is an exact replica of Big Billy, with beautiful blue eyes! I miss my sister a lot, and I can't wait to see all of them this summer for the 4th of July weekend :)
