Sisters

Fun with Cousins

The girls had a visit from some of their cousins the other day. Alayna got lots of snuggles from Karson.

And Bailey surprised us all by busting out some wrestling moves on Kolton. It was hilarious and he was a good sport!

The Last 3 Weeks

Guess who's three weeks old already!!

Here's a look back...

Our last walk as a threesome!

Bailey LOVES the ducks. There are plenty here to feed, and they aren't shy!

The last official belly shot! 38 weeks and on my way to the hospital.

And here she is. What a little angel.

The proud grandmas

Some of the great-grandparents

Lucky Alayna gets to share a birthday with her Aunt Gina!

Two exhausted parents. Apparently, hospitals are not for sleeping.

Bailey was pretty excited to come see us at the hospital. It was miserable for her to have to say goodbye again each time she left. Thank you mom, for taking such good care of her for us at home!!

Time to come home!

My mom and Bailey had decorated the yard for our arrival. Thank you!

Bailey does her own inspection of the new arrival.

Alayna was a glow-worm for the first two days at home. She had to have a biliblanket to help get rid of some jaundice.

Caught some smiles


Saying goodbye to Nonna :(. We really enjoyed having you here mom, and we appreciate everything you did for us-which was a lot! Bailey sure had tons of fun with you too!

Alayna doesn't quite fit into her newborn size clothes yet!

KR and his girls

Bailey loves her little sister and gives her several rounds of kisses throughout the day.

Alayna's first walk. We think she hated it.

A second walk and time to feed the ducks again! Alayna was quite content this time.

We feel so blessed to have this beautiful new addition to our family!

In Memory of Brother

Our dear sweet cat, Brother, lost the battle with his health last week. The vets called his case unique and were never able to figure out what was making him so sick. He seemed to be hanging in there, but took a sudden turn for the worst while we were out of town. We certainly feel a void around here but have peace that he is no longer suffering. He was a big, handsome, and tough cat with his share of battle scars, but really was so loving, gentle, and sweet. He tolerated Bailey laying all over him-poking at his eyes and pulling his ears-and she loved her "Bo-Bo." I could go on and on about what we will miss about him but I will just say that he has brought us a lot of joy these last 5 1/2 years. Thank you for being a part of our family Brother-we love and miss you!
